Dr. Jennifer Webb has designed a new therapy combining virtual reality, a drug cocktail, and psychology for healing past trauma by introducing new traumas that force confrontations differently. We start with the scenario of two sisters who had become estranged undergoing treatment to heal their relationship which consists of a throwing them into a scenario where they are trying to escape a monster in a corn field.
Esther Hoffman is a journalist for a science magazine who has always been skeptical about funky new treatments and has signed up for a treatment from Dr. Webb in order to debunk her methods. Knowing that if Esther can't do so it will mean great press, Dr. Webb agrees. That's where things go sideways because this is a Mira Grant book.
Mira Grant writes horribly awful things in well researched detail that seem to be prescient (please go read Feed and then look at today's news cycles if you don't believe me) so I really worry about how this one will turn out in the future. But honestly, as usual with her work, I could barely put it down and this was after my 13 year old had been hounding me to read it as he is also a huge fan.
