She interacts with Avs (avatars) rather than images of real people. When the author introduces her to the reader, we realize that Rosemary has worked at the helpdesk remotely for about six years for a company called Superwally, which seems like Amazon. Rosemary, one of the protagonists, is a young adult who began attending school online when she was 13 and had little memory of the world of cities, crowds, and human interaction. She chose to call an underground musicians’ enclave in Baltimore “The 2020.” Published in 2019, Pinsker focused on changes in the music industry and underground musicians. However, this novel came to my attention because its author and critics called it “eerily prescient” when the 2020 pandemic government mandates began. I don’t usually choose science fiction as a genre.
