Mitch Smith is an ambitious young man. He wants to work the coolest clubs, date the hottest girls, do the hardest drugs. But when a one night stand with nice girl Amy Peterson threatens to become something more, Mitch must decide between an actual relationship or the continued pursuit of the unattainable. Set in the dens of the techno underworld and the dark city streets of the Pacific Northwest, USER is an adrenalized love story in which the pure energy of youth supercedes moral consequences.

Review:

"A refreshing change from cooler-than-thou hipster lit." -- Pagan Kennedy, author of The Exes

"Blake Nelson has an ear for the cool, confused, brutally deadpan voice of youth. He ably documents its inner monologue." -- Maggie Estep, author of Diary of an Emotional Idiot

"Dark, funny and deadly accurate, User is Nelson's most boldly successful literary effort." -- Douglas Rushkoff, author of Ecstacy Club
