"They called the world beyond the walls of the Pod 'the Death Shop.' A million ways to die out there. Aria never thought she'd get so close."
Aria is nice and safe inside the Pod, a place completely separate from the outside world meant to keep out disease and germs. Inside the Pod... a place where life is carefully regulated so people can live hundreds of years. Inside the Pod... where all living is digital to maximize enjoyment while minimizing risk. Inside the Pod... where all wear computers in their eyes used for everything from communicating to traveling to tasting food. Oh yes, Aria is nice and safe inside the Pod, until one day she takes a risk that doesn't pay off and is cast out of the pod.
Outside the Pod... where the very air could kill her. Outside the Pod... where cannibals roam and violent storms destroy all in sight without warning. Outside the Pod... where life consists of danger and risk. Outside the Pod... where one handsome hunter is seeking answers of his own. Outside the Pod... where love can truly be found. Outside the Pod... where the carefully hidden secrets of the Pod begin to unravel. Outside the Pod... where life can truly begin.
