{"product_id":"outlier-a-novel","title":"Outlier: A Novel","description":"OUTLIER: A Novel\nIn a world controlled by corporations, freedom is the ultimate illusion.\nShelly Bowen was a legend—brilliant, fearless, and the mastermind behind the revolutionary Lightning Lens, a device that could change reality itself. But in a city of gleaming towers masking decay, the price of genius is steep. Betrayed, bankrupted, and hunted by the same corporate empire that stole her life's work, Shelly is forced to navigate a world where virtual realities are prisons, freedom is for sale, and the past refuses to stay buried.\nMeanwhile, Brandon Simms, a former street dealer with a conscience, learns that empathy is a dangerous flaw in a society that feeds on addiction and control. And in the shadows walks Simon Suchanek—tall, bald, enigmatic—who claims he is not human and whose interest in Shelly and Brandon may determine the fate of the fractured world they inhabit.\nAs the Sphere World tightens its grip on humanity, Shelly discovers she possesses an ability that could unravel the lies holding this broken society together—or destroy what little remains. But in a world where reality is programmable and surveillance is everywhere, how do you fight back when you can’t trust what you see, or even your own mind?\nOUTLIER is a gripping cyberpunk dystopian thriller about betrayal, revenge, and the human spirit’s final stand in a world on the brink of collapse. Perfect for fans of William Gibson, Black Mirror, and Altered Carbon, this novel will pull you into a future that feels dangerously close—and will not let you go.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0FGDVTJGP\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0FGDVTJGP.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Tompkins, Jeffrey\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43331519905853,"sku":"BVV.B0FGDVTJGP.VG","price":12.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/outlier-a-novel","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
