‘DUPLICITY’, a fictional serialised story by first-time author Zoe O’Connor, will be released online this Friday 24th of April on www.the-dots.eu. Over 12 weeks, it tells the cautionary tale of a modern dating dystopia.

In a world of streaming content on demand, she wanted to write a story that was worth waiting for – released on a weekly basis so as to allow the reader to dwell on what has happened and anticipate what will happen next.
Serialised stories were very popular in the 18th century.
