Description
"Claudia Lin-mystery novel superfan and, until recently, clichéd underemployed English major-has scored her dream job: co-running Veracity, a dating detective agency whose mission is to determine if chronically online New Yorkers are telling the truth about themselves to their prospective partners. Unfortunately, along the way, she and her colleagues-tech wizard Squirrel, and the beautiful and intimidating Becks-have uncovered a nefarious AI conspiracy. And the corrupt corporate matchmakers may be resorting to murder to protect their secrets. Luckily, a client's ex is ready to turn on his employers-slipping Claudia thumb drives and setting up secret meetings to exchange information about what the company is up to behind the scenes. But even as Claudia starts to get a feel for this new genre-just call her Lin, Claudia Lin-she's distracted by the romantic tension with both Becks and a flirtatious and charming target. There's also the fear that her older brother, Charles, is unwittingly falling into the corporation's deadly web through his consulting work. How can you know who to trust if you are keeping secrets and lying to those you love? How real are the carefully constructed identities we present to the world, online and off? The Rivals simultaneously skewers and celebrates spy stories while also revealing the ways technology is reshaping who we think we are"--
