An anarchist online group sets out to assassinate the corporate elites they believe have turned culture into a digital nightmare.

"A blistering look at what our online and offline lives have devolved into at the hands of our corporate tech overlords and their lackeys in government." - ROBERT J. SAWYER, Hugo Award-winning author

Don Barton is the visionary creator of Greenhouse, a popular immersive game where millions play at "saving the environment" in the surreal digital landscapes of the metaverse. Now retired to his plutocratic wealth, he learns his teen son, a gifted gamer, has suddenly gone missing, having joined a terrorist group led by a mysterious young woman, Eris, a former cryptocurrency trader. She's on a mission to destroy the world's entertainment and social media platforms and assassinate the corporate elites who run them.

In desperation, Barton roams Greenhouse, the only place his radicalized son will talk to him, learning that the game - his life's work - is on the terrorist hit list. And both his life and his son's are in danger.

Industry Reviews

Gaudet offers an eerie glimpse into an all too believable near-future in this cyberpunk outing... This virtual game of cat and mouse will appeal to fans of Ready Player One. * Publishers Weekly *
Gaudet blurs the line between virtual reality and the real world. With a teen protagonist and numerous appeal points from gaming to ecology, this thriller has crossover potential. * Booklist *
Eris is a damning thriller about the how modern media and technology impede people from acting human. * Foreword Reviews *
Larry Gaudet's Eris is timely and important, a blistering look at what our online and offline lives have devolved into at the hands of our corporate tech overlords and their lackeys in government. * Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author *
This psychological thriller takes us on a riveting journey through our corporatized digital landscapes and the human condition. * Stephen Cornish, humanitarian and environmentalist *

A masterful and timely exploration of the convergence of the digital and the material. One moment, the two appear irreconcilable; the next they're indistinguishably and enticingly identical. In Eris, Larry Gaudet offers a priceless glimpse into a neurologically challenged humanity and the deeply troubling future we are destined to face.

* Peter Cavelti, author of A Dangerous Remedy *
