Otherworld

New York Times bestselling authors Jason Segel and Kirsten Miller imagine a near future in which people can leave their bodies behind and enter Otherworld, a virtual-reality game that recreates every sensation—sight, sound, taste, smell, and touch. In Otherworld there are no screens or controls, no laws to break or rules to obey: users can experience forbidden or impossible desires and live without consequence. This is the first book in a fast-paced trilogy. The game is so addictive that many never want to leave, and when Simon enters Otherworld he discovers that for some it might not end. As the boundaries between real life and virtual experience erode, characters must confront the costs of surrendering to engineered pleasure and the dangers of technology that can deliver everything a person wants.
