Lost in Arcadia / Sean Gandert. by Gandert, Sean. 47North, 2017. Call #: FICTION GAN Subjects Virtual reality -- Fiction.   Social media -- Fiction.   Intimacy (Psychology) -- Fiction.   Attachment behavior -- Fiction.   Interpersonal relations -- Fiction.   Polarization (Social sciences) -- United States -- Fiction. ISBN:  9781477848531 (trade pbk.) Description:  400 p. ; 21 cm. Summary:  "The America of 2037 is a country distracted by, infatuated with, and addicted to Arcadia. The brainchild of reclusive genius Juan Diego Reyes, Arcadia is a wickedly immersive, all-encompassing social-media platform and virtual-reality interface. Although Arcadia has made the Reyes family fabulously wealthy, it's left them - and the rest of the country - impoverished of that rare currency : intimacy. When Juan Diego mysteriously vanishes, the consequences shatter the lives of the entire Reyes clan. As matriach Autumn struggles to hold the family together, siblings Gideon, Holly, and Devon wrestle with questions of purpose and meaning - seeking self-worth in a world where everything has been cheapened. Outside the artificial safety of Arcadia, America has crumbled into an unrecognizable nation where a fundamentalist ex-preacher occupies the Oval Office, megacorporations blithely exploit their full citizenship, and a twenty-foot-high Great Wall of Freedom plastered with lucrative advertising bestrides the US-Mexico border. In a polarized society now cripplingly hooked on manufactured highs, the Reyes family must overcome the seduction of simulation to find the kind of authentic human connection that offers salvation for all."--From publisher.
