A Song for a New Day

by Sarah Pinsker · 2019

Science Fiction · ranked #18 in category

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.
