'Wonderful'
Kaliane Bradley, author of The Ministry of Time

'A literary firecracker'
Pandora Sykes, Books and Bits

'Brilliant'
Elle

Thirty-something Girlie Delmundo works a day job as a content moderator, removing the very worst that makes it on to the internet. She's one of the best at it, too, so it's no surprise when she's given a big salary rise to start moderating its new venture: virtual-reality theme parks, lush simulations of civilizations long since dead.

But as she begins to explore the intricate worlds that she moderates, Girlie notices two deeply troubling things: that there might be something much darker built into the very code of the company, and that William, technically her new boss, a man whose barriers are as mighty as her own, might just be that long-forgotten thing... Girlie's type.

Named one of '30 of the planet's most exciting young people' by the Financial Times, Elaine Castillo was born and raised in the Bay Area. Her debut novel America Is Not the Heart was named one of the best books of 2018 by NPR, San Francisco Chronicle, The New York Public Library, The New York Post, The Boston Globe, Real Simple, Lit Hub, and has been nominated for the Elle Award, the Center for Fiction Prize, the Aspen Words Prize, the Northern California Independent Booksellers Book Award, and the California Book Award.
