Review
Set in a future where people have an implant and can choose to plug in to a virtual reality world where they can experience all things. In this virtual reality world they work, play and attend school.
But Luna is a refuser without an implant, and when school test results show her true intelligence the world leading and controlling company PareCo are suddenly interested in her.
Will her ancestry and true gifts be uncovered, and can she save the world from itself?
As a refuser of some modern technologies, I found the premise intriguing and the characters well developed and interesting. In a time when so many are increasingly becoming disconnected by their connectivity, I think this story will strike a cord with many.
A truly enthralling dystopian thriller that will appeal to those 15 +.
