Synopsis of Plowing the Dark

En un laboratorio digital a orillas de Puget Sound, investigadores de realidad virtual compiten para completar la Caverna, una sala blanca que puede convertirse en una jungla, una pintura o una vasta catedral bizantina. En una ciudad devastada por la guerra en la costa oriental del Mediterráneo, un estadounidense es mantenido como rehén, encadenado a un radiador en una habitación blanca y vacía. Adie Klarpol, una artista desilusionada, se siente revitalizada por la emoción de trabajar con la tecnología de vanguardia de la Caverna. A medida que los imperios de la Guerra Fría colapsan y el Muro de Berlín cae, ella se retira a las ciber-realidades que ha sido contratada para crear. En Beirut, el profesor de inglés Taimur Martin es mantenido en confinamiento solitario por fundamentalistas islámicos, donde debe mantener su mente intacta solo con la fuerza de su memoria. ¿Qué puede unir dos lugares tan remotos? Solo la imaginación compartida, una habitación que estas dos personas construyen inconscientemente en común, donde los hilos de esta novela se unen en uno.
