In this dead-on satire of online obsessions, a novelist with
writer s block finds a new and very lucrative stream of income in a
virtual world that appears to give him everything he lacks in the
real world.When Frank Dixon, a frustrated writer who has seen his
career crash and burn, decides to dabble in online poker, he
discovers he has a knack for winning. In this newfound realm,
populated by alluring characters each of them elusive, mysterious,
and glamorous he becomes a smash success: popular, rich, and loved.
Going by the name Chip Zero, he sees his fortunes and romantic
liaisons thrive in cyberspace while he remains blind to the fact
that his real life is sinking. His online success, however, does
not come without complications, as he comes to realize that his
virtual friends and lovers are, in fact, very real, and one rival
player is not at all happy that Mr. Zero has taken all his
money.Heller s cautionary tale is continually surprising and
startlingly real, a tour de force of satirical storytelling in the
vein of Jonathan Tropper and Sam Lipsyte."
