“

In his head-spinning literary thriller, Olson takes us down a rabbit hole of kinky cybersex and multilevel mystery.

. . . Reads like John Fowles’

The Magus reimagined by William Gibson o n a Red Bull bender . . . [a] complex,

cutting edge debut.”

“

Strange Flesh

is compelling cyberpunk, filled with plausible cyberwizardry, clever wordplay, murder, betrayal, and heaping helpings of gamer culture and kinky cybersex. Olson skillfully portrays worlds few readers k now:

quirky computing and robotics geniuses; Harvard’s wealthy, privileged undergraduate royalty; and the surpassingly strange world of online gamers…Crimes, both high and low; ble eding

-edge technology; and titillation: What

’s not to love?”
