Winner · The Nebula Award for Best Novel, 2020

In a near-future America where mass gatherings have been banned after a wave of attacks and a pandemic, a touring musician who refuses to stop performing live encounters a young scout for a tech company that has built an empire on virtual concerts. Pinsker's Nebula Award-winning novel — written before COVID-19 but eerily predictive — is about live music, isolation and what gets lost when everything moves online.

About Science Fiction

Science fiction is the literature of ideas — asking what human life looks like when technology, time or the laws of physics shift. At its best it uses speculation to say something precise and true about the present.
