In this captivating science fiction novel from an award-winning author, public gatherings are illegal making concerts impossible, except for those willing to break the law for the love of music, and for one chance at human connection.In the Before, when the government didn't prohibit large public gatherings, Luce Cannon was on top of the world. One of her songs had just taken off and she was on her way to becoming a star. Now, in the After, terror attacks and deadly viruses have led the government to ban concerts, and Luce's connection to the world--her music, her purpose--is closed off forever. She does what she has to do: she performs in illegal concerts to a small but passionate community, always evading the law. Rosemary Laws barely remembers the Before times. She spends her days in Hoodspace, helping customers order all of their goods online for drone delivery--no physical contact with humans needed. By lucky chance, she finds a new job and a new calling: discover amazing musicians and bring their concerts to everyone via virtual reality. The only catch is that she'll have to do something she's never done before and go out in public. Find the illegal concerts and bring musicians into the limelight they deserve. But when she sees how the world could actually be, that won’t be enough.

“Is there a funeral?” I didn’t know if this was the right question to ask. I’d never known anyone near my own age who’d died before.
“In Nebraska or Arkansas or wherever it is she’s from. Her parents claimed her body, I guess.” From the sound of it, he was new at this, too. “Anyway, we wanted to have a memorial, but the newspapers say to avoid big gatherings right now, so I guess we’ll do it . . . whenever this flu runs its course? Do you want me to let you know?” (查看原文)
The Don’t Forget Normal list included: street festivals, Renaissance fairs, amusement parks, supermarket runs, movie theaters, malls in December, talking to strangers in a waiting room. (查看原文)

Our Lady of the Open Road前传，对新冠神预言，连关键门牌号都是2020。很难得的近未来科幻，技术设定看上去是努把力可以实现的，反而更需要想象力。不过线上与线下不可兼得这个冲突，似乎并非不能通过技术升级来解决。另外，对于社恐死宅会触及错误的神经，反倒帮了反派，将Rosemary首次进虚拟现场这个小高潮与篇末Luce真现场这个大高潮相比，死宅会选择哪个恐怕无需赘言了。
