“A confident sci-fi thriller that deftly addresses themes of resilience, faith, and the value of video games.” Kirkus Reviews
Arcade is a gripping tale of post-apocalyptic Silicon Valley, demonstrating the strength of family ties amid the ruins of a high-tech world and the secrets of an alien one. Arcade entertains fans of Ready Player One, Alien and Interstellar.
In the near-future, our technology centered world is reduced to a pre-industrial state. Explosions around the globe generate electromagnetic pulses that destroy every piece of technology using electronic circuits. Silicon Valley is not immune to the chaos that erupts. In the ruins of the world’s technology hub, society’s remnants focus on survival.
In the final days before the Change, retired FBI agent Walter Jackson pursues his estranged wife and daughter from Memphis to the Bay Area. His return home now impossible, Walter survives by working for the local police while still seeking his family. He discovers a high-tech company that still operates with food, power and a mission that reaches far beyond our solar system. Its leader, Sloan Holt, is also driven by the need to recover a loved one.
Walter and Sloan collaborate, but other dangers put them at risk - from an industrialist who sees opportunity in the chaos to unknown forces from an alien world. The game of survival is being played out in an apocalyptic arcade.
