She had to find a way to continue to make music and reach people who wanted to listen to it, bypassing the restrictions in place.
She was touring around the US, gaining momentum for her career, when everything came crashing down. We meet Luce Cannon, an artist who was there Before the laws changed. This is a world where the kids go to online schools and real life is in the Hoodspace. A virus destroyed part of the world’s population and people prefer to stay home, get things delivered using drones, or drive in self-driving cars if they must commute. Enjoy dystopian stories? Read this book!Ī Song for a New Day is set in a world where public gatherings are illegal and, the only (read legal) way to enjoy music and sports, is through the virtual systems of StageHolo. This book is partly about performances, and has so much to offer, giving a glimpse of the future we are headed towards. If you read and enjoyed Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, you will like this book. If you like music, or sports (yes, sports), you need to read this book. If you haven’t met Luce yet, I’m happy to introduce you to her and her world a little bit today, by telling you about Sarah Pinsker‘s book A Song for A New Day, where Luce is the protagonist. When I pick up my guitar to practice next time, when I think ‘music’ and ‘book’, it won’t be the sheet/tab music books that will come to mind – it will be Luce and her passion. In my reading career so far, I have met characters that loved music, that made music, and engaged with music at a higher level, but before A Song for A New Day, I never met anyone who lived music.
