A speculative reimagining of Fitzgerald's classic tale of glamour, desire and desperation set in 2075 New York, Local Heavens examines the guardrails of morality . . . and the price of desire. Perfect for fans of Emily St John Mandel, Natasha Pulley's The Mars House and Chain-Gang All-Stars. 'NOT JUST A CYBERPUNK REINVENTION OF THE GREAT GATSBY, BUT A SINGULAR REVELATION IN ITS OWN RIGHT OLIVIE BLAKE A corporate hacker. An elusive billionaire. A society trying to survive the American Nightmare. New York City, 2075. Filipino American Nick Carraway has just moved to the heart of the fractured New Americas, where he's struck by the city's contradictions - shining corporate towers casting bleak shadows over the slums of a crumbling middle class. When Nick meets alluring new-money Jay Gatsby, he falls for Gatsby's frank charm and confident aura. But in a city where the wealthy flaunt tech-enhanced bodies to cheat death, surfaces aren't all they seem - and as a corporate-sanctioned cyberspace hacker, Nick knows that no secret can stay buried for ever. He's the reason they don't. And his latest assignment? Investigate Gatsby himself. As Nick becomes entangled in the dark affairs of the elite - and the devastating fallout of their actions on the city's most vulnerable - he must reckon with the limits of compassion and accountability across class and status. What takes precedence: love, or truth? Heart, or soul? 'GORGEOUS, DECADENT ... LOCAL HEAVENS PIERCES TO THE CORE OF AN AMERICAN CLASSIC' CHLOE GONG
