Lucas, and starring Jessica De Gouw. Plot summaryJackal Segura was born to a life rich with responsibility and privilege and will soon become part of the global administration, sponsored by the huge corporation that houses, feeds, employs, and protects her and everyone she loves. However, just as she discovers that everything she's been brought up to believe is a lie, she is convicted of murder. Grief-stricken and alone, she is sentenced to years of virtual solitary confinement compressed into a few months. When finally released, branded and despised, she struggles to rebuild her life, love, and soul in a strange place called Solitaire. Film adaptationThe 2017 feature film OtherLife is loosely based on the novel Solitaire. The film was written by Gregory Widen, Ben C. Lucas, and Kelley Eskridge, directed by Ben C. Lucas, and stars Jessica De Gouw. The film premiered at the Sydney Film Festival in June 2017[3] and was released on Netflix on 15 October 2017.[4] The film's plot, based "very, very loosely" on the novel,[5] presents Ren Amari as a high-tech researcher who develops a form of biological virtual reality. When her partner insists she license it for virtual solitary confinement, which she strongly feels is unethical, she fights to retain control of her invention. ReceptionGerald Jonas in The New York Times Book Review wrote that, "Eskridge's evocation of Jackal's time in high-tech solitary confinement is a stylistic and psychological tour de force. The horrors she confronts, the defenses she mounts, the things she learns are treated with a painful but bracing clarity..."[6] In The Seattle Times, Nisi Shawl wrote, "Eskridge's portrait of executives balancing corporate responsibilities and personal loyalties in the midst of Machiavellian machinations rings crisp and true. The account of Jackal's apparent abandonment by Ko, her confinement, her chillingly visceral struggle with isolation-induced madness, and her ultimate transformation from self-centeredness to self-sufficiency is almost completely convincing."[7] A reviewer for Publishers Weekly demurred, "This near-future debut novel tries hard, but doesn't quite amalgamate its ambitious themes."[8] Awards and nominations
