Moxyland by Lauren Beukes
The acclaimed debut novel from the Arthur C Clarke Award winning author of Zoo City. In the near future, an art-school dropout, and AIDS baby, a tech-activist and an RPG-obsessed blogger live in a world where your online identity is at least as important as your physical one. Getting disconnected is a punishment worse than imprisonment.
Moxyland does lots of things masterfully, that lots of SF never even guesses that it 'could' be doing- Willaim Gibson
Lauren Beukes is a writer, TV scriptwriter and recovering journalist (although she occasionally falls off the wagon). She has an MA in Creative Writing, but she got her real education in ten years of freelance journalism, learning really useful skills like how to pole-dance and make traditional sorghum beer. For the sake of a story, she's jumped out of planes and into shark-infested waters and got to hang out with teen vampires, township vigilantes, AIDS activists and homeless sex workers among other interesting folk. Her novel Zoo City (published by Angry Robot) won 2011's Arthur C Clarke award.
