THE BLUE NOTE is an indiscreet book about a discreet subject. It is a love and sex story that takes place both in the virtual world and in the real world. The computer screen is the mediating interface, the "door of perception," through which our heroine and hero speak of love and, step by step, achieve sexual union. They discover and exploit the intense eroticism provided by the anonymity of electronics, a phenomenon of current technology that is causing a total upheaval in the way the sexes meet and merge.
