If The Social Network was sexier, if Ready Player One was massively multiplayer, if The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was a boy—you’d have STRANGE FLESH, the most seductive, high-tech, high-octane literary thriller about alternate reality games and robot sex ever written. One bookseller declared it “a deliciously depraved homage to de Sade masquerading in a decidedly twenty-first century skin.” It’s 120 Days of Sodom as adapted by Neal Stephenson; Stieg Larsson by way of Bret Easton Ellis; Never Let Me Go meets Penthouse Forum.
This is a story about sex and games. But it is also a story about brothers and sisters, fathers and sons, love, lust, betrayal, and revenge. It’s about the fast-approaching age that conjures new forms of decadent excess, about intimate fantasies hard-wired into the human mind. STRANGE FLESH is audacious, sexy, and suspenseful, and it will not disappoint. But it might make you blush.
Praise for Michael Olson and STRANGE FLESH:
“In his head-spinning literary thriller, Olson takes us down a rabbit hole of kinky cybersex and multilevel mystery…Reads like John Fowles’ The Magus reimagined by William Gibson on a Red Bull bender…[a] complex, cutting edge debut.”—Publishers Weekly(starred review)
“Strange Flesh is compelling cyberpunk, filled with plausible cyberwizardry, clever wordplay, murder, betrayal, and heaping helpings of gamer culture and kinky cybersex. Olson skillfully portrays worlds few readers know: quirky computing and robotics geniuses; Harvard’s wealthy, privileged undergraduate royalty; and the surpassingly strange world of online gamers…Crimes, both high and low; bleeding-edge technology; and titillation: What’s not to love?”—Booklist (starred review)
