A novella.
Dante and Byron are avatars. Driven by human beings, yet still only digital
representations of their ideal selves. In reality, they live far apart,
but share most of their waking and working hours together in a virtual
world called Synth.
In Synth, like in most code, the laws are
infinitely more simple and infinitely more complex. Navigating the
system rules of virtual lovers is like steering through a minefield of
deceit, suspicion, heartbreak, and half-truths.
Under pressure,
Dante makes a friendship that trips Byron's warning bells, disrupting
their carefully-ordered lives and calling into question the wisdom of
trusting your heart to a man you can never touch in the flesh.
