When their friend Ann dies of a drug overdose, Alex and Mark try to recreate her death using virtual reality, because they don't know if it was accidental or a suicide. Their grief and obsession with technology and problems with how humans treat the environment lead them to become ecoterrorists, with Alex the true extremist and Mark just along for the ride, ambivalent, grieving, and coasting through a haze of depression and sexual excess. Their virtual experiment becomes a massive terrorist entity called Eris and Mark follows through his path of depressed non-resistance toward a cold, brutal ending.Inspired by many literary and sci-fi writers and films, notably William Burroughs, Neal Stephenson, and the first Matrix film. In the Flat Field is the second novel by Charles Keatts.
