Moderation

Girlie Delmundo is the best content moderator on the planet. After surviving financial collapse, climate disaster, and a global pandemic, she’s finally on the rise—about to be promoted at Paragon, her powerful parent company. With Paragon’s recent acquisition of Fairground, the leading virtual reality platform, Girlie is set to join the ranks of elite VR moderators, overseeing the next evolution of human interaction.

In the immersive world of Fairground, she doesn’t have to think about the home they lost in the Bay Area, or the past at all—she can just keep moving forward, no matter what needs fixing.

But when she meets William Cheung—Fairground’s enigmatic co-founder turned Chief Product Officer—Girlie finds herself unexpectedly drawn in. As their connection deepens and long-buried secrets come to light, she begins to realize that some things—history, love, identity—can’t be moderated. And the future? It may be even harder to control.
