Anarchist impresario Leo wages war on Bay Area Big Tech with his guerrilla art organization, the Chaos Order. After being arrested for sabotaging the XR game company HERE's property, Leo's closest followers, Evan and Lydia, take two different paths. Evan joins HERE to avoid legal consequences and to bring the spirit of the Chaos Order to the world through a revolutionary immersive narrative game. Lydia plunges deeper into her relationship with the increasingly unstable Leo, whose revenge against Evan brings the Order into rising conflict with HERE. Told from Evan's and Lydia's alternating points of view, Zone Trip weaves through Leo's psychological manipulation of his followers, Evan's defection to the enemy's side, and the devastating consequences of Lydia's love for the Pan-like Leo. Inspired by insider knowledge of the Suicide Club, the Cacophony Society, and the Burning Man movement, Zone Trip uncovers the behind the sparkle. ​​​​​​​What sets Zone Trip apart is its nuanced exploration of its characters' complex motivations and inner lives. Rather than relying on easy plot devices or stereotypical characterizations, this novel challenges readers to grapple with the messy, contradictory, and often uncomfortable realities of human agency in a world dominated by technology.
