The story takes place in and around a VR amusement park which allows visitors to experience pre-european contact Native American stories. The main character "Jesse" acts our "authentic Indian experiences". The guests have a "menu" of experiences displayed on a "digital blackboard". The antagonist "White Wolf", a guest of the park eventually takes over not just a Native American experience in the park, but Jesse's actual real life too.
You maintain a menu of a half dozen Experiences on your digital blackboard, but Vision Quest is the one the Tourists choose the most.Â
The world shivers. The pod screen blinks on. Someone wants your Experience.
You don’t recognize White Wolf at first. Most people change themselves a little within the construct of the Experience. Nothing wrong with being thinner, taller, a little better looking.Â
Theresa calls them “pretendians,” but you think that’s unkind.
