The Future of Sex continues in this thrilling second installment … The next step in human sexuality is about less, not more.After unlocking her Beam network beta, Chloe finds the AI within it gives her access to all the scintillating, pleasure-enhancing technology the O Corporation has to offer. But as the Six learn by studying Chloe's baffling telemetry, their newest prodigy succeeds through simplicity, not complexity.

O's key to profit and power lies somewhere within Chloe's highly intuitive mind -- by harnessing a forgotten cybernetic concept known as "The Girlfriend Experience." The best path seems to lie within studying Chloe, not following the expected playbook. But as Chloe's enigmatic mind uncovers a relic buried deep within the next-gen network, O's control on their chosen one is weakening, their best-laid plans spinning out of control.

What is the future of sex? And the bigger question: Who is Chloe Shaw?

Welcome to the Future of Sex.In the hyperconnected and artifical-intelligence-enhanced future, sex is like a cyberpunk video game: a realm where no desire is left unexplored, and even the unimaginable is possible.In the year 2063, the civilized world exists only within the North American Union, walled off by a defensive shell called the Lattice, protected from the barbarian East and rising sea levels while life goes on in a hyper-stimulated dystopia.

Life inside the NAU is overseen by the Crossbrace network, soon to be supplanted by the next-gen AI of an arriving entity called "The Beam." And sex -- which hosts a bevy of technological wonders within its toolset (nanobots, bodily enhancements, computer-simulated immersive porn) has been turned into a commodity, diverted away from humanity and toward profit.

The monolithic O corporation has mainstreamed sexuality through social engineering and political manipulation -- not in order to legitimize it, but to advance its own market share. O is in search of the elite to please the NAU's wealthiest and most demanding men and women -- true to its mission to strive toward "the future of sex."

Among those recruits is Chloe Shaw: new, green, and downright inexperienced. But as it turns out, Chloe has a gift that even far-seeing O doesn't suspect. She's a strong female lead and a prodigy for sure … but will her abilities prove to be more than even O can control?

The Future of Sex takes place within the world of The Beam, a groundbreaking sci-fi serial by Sean Platt and Johnny B. Truant. This cyberpunk trip down the rabbit hole straddles the line as a hybrid science fiction / erotica series, and as such contains explicit sex scenes.
