A Murder in the RealWorld

If virtual reality ever gets as good as these VR adventures, I guess I’ll have to invest in a helmet. But you don’t need to be a technophile, or even a science fiction or mystery fan, to love this book…  A Murder in the RealWorld is a VERY good book. The characters, whether encountered in VR or in the real world, are well-developed; the descriptions sometimes lyrical, and one can become immersed in the plot(s).

As our own virtual technology expands, this is a cautionary tale of where we could be as a society. A Murder in the RealWorld explores a kind of digital dystopia, where VR technology provides an endless variety of sexual encounters and epic adventures in a world-wide VR connective service called Weary, creating fictional lives that few are willing to put aside to resume the mundane activities of work, family and friends.
