Burner, an all-too plausible contemporary thriller, is inspired by the explosive events of our polarized political climate and examines the social and personal consequences of the lost sense of identity, trust, and truth itself that characterizes our technology-obsessed culture. Burner dives headfirst into the modern zeitgeist of politically motivated disinformation, toxic internet subcultures, and our continuing need for belonging, purpose, and love in an age of distorted online personas.
Shane Stoller has just been arrested for domestic terrorism, accused of being the mastermind behind the online profile Burner_911—the anonymous leader of a massive populist movement. What nobody knows is that Shane and Chloe Corbin, the socialite daughter of a tech billionaire who has just been abducted by Burner_911's followers in a lawless uprising on the streets of San Francisco, are secretly in love despite coming from opposite worlds. Plagued with regret but unable to communicate with his followers from prison, Shane tries desperately to find a way to save Chloe from the forces he has unleashed. From her own captivity, Chloe becomes more sympathetic to Burner_911's cause—and transitions from victim to conspirator in an effort to free herself and exonerate Shane.
Part tragic love story, part mind-bending psychological thriller, Burner examines what might happen if your social media addiction jeopardized the person you love. Inspired by the explosive events of our polarized political climate, the novel explores the social and personal consequences of the lost sense of identity, trust, and truth itself that characterizes our technology-obsessed culture.
The story delves into the modern zeitgeist of politically motivated disinformation, toxic internet subcultures, and our continuing need for belonging, purpose, and love in an age of distorted online personas. As Shane and Chloe's secret romance hangs in the balance, the novel takes readers on a gripping journey that challenges their preconceptions and leaves them questioning the line between truth and fiction, reality and the digital realm.
Burner is a thought-provoking and timely exploration of the complex issues facing our interconnected world, where the lines between the virtual and the tangible have become increasingly blurred. With its compelling characters, fast-paced plot, and thought-provoking themes, the novel offers a chilling and immersive reading experience that lingers long after the last page is turned.
