The Digital Pools

    (DW Comics, 2020)

In the near future, technology enters a symbiotic stage with the human body. The world’s digital communication pipelines have melded into a single, nascent network called The Simulation, an immersive and visceral virtual experience.

Funded by a government program to police this new digital dream, major metropolitan areas around the United States form Virtual Crime Task Forces (VCTFs). Their mandate? To police The Simulation for acts of mindcrime, the subjugation of innocent minds committed by a new breed of criminal. Leading the Boston Police Department’s VCTF is Lieutenant Julio Larosa, a mild-mannered but case-hardened public servant who accepts the post near the twilight of his career. Mitigating his lack of technological know-how, he hires a freelance Simulation developer named Rico Teller to support the BPD’s new digital crime fighting unit. As their investigations begin, Larosa and Rico forge new friends and enemies, while leveraging the connections of their past, fighting their way through a sea of depravity and danger in a world where few are who they seem and the threads of reality merge with the signals of the digital world.
