About This Book

The narrative follows a man who aligns his daily life with an online tribe defined by a shared time zone, seeking connection through synchronized routines and intimate relationships. As social ties and digital networks intertwine, escalating betrayals and manipulations force him to reconsider the cost of outsourcing identity to ephemeral communities. The work alternates episodic scenes of social life, romance and subterfuge with incisive observations about time, belonging, privacy and the shifting economics and habits of culture in a highly networked world.
