Voor fans van de TV-series Black Mirror en Westworld en lezers van James Dashner en Veronica Roth is er nu Otherworld, het eerste boek in een nieuwe YA scifi-thrillerreeks van Jason Segel & Kirsten Miller. De toekomst is nu en de toekomst is angstaanjagend.

Otherworld

Compulsively readable, and emotionally gripping, Segel and Miller's sci-fi thriller introduces readers to the next generation of gaming, the dangers that lie within its virtual boundaries, and what it all will cost us in the real world. Some conspiracies are real, and Simon has found himself caught up in one that could change the world forever--and there's already a body count.

There are no screens. There are no controls. You don't just see and hear it - you taste, smell, and touch it too. In this new reality, there are no laws to break or rules to obey. You can live your best life. Indulge every desire.
It's a game so addictive you'll never want it to end. Until you realize that you're the one being played.
Welcome to Otherworld, where reality is dead. Step into the future. Leave your body behind.

The frightening future that Jason Segel and Kirsten Miller have imagined is not far away. Otherworld asks the question we'll all soon be asking: if technology can deliver everything we want, how much are we willing to pay?
