Inhaltsangabe

WELCOME TO MAKE-BELIEVE. YOU CREATE THE FANTASY, THEY CONTROL YOUR MIND.

Cassie worked at Imagen, the tech giant behind the cutting-edge virtual reality experience Make-Believe™, and she got to know the product well. Too well. But Cassie has been barred from her escape from the real world, and legally gagged by the company. Her dream job now seems to be part of a larger nightmare, and Imagen is not done with her yet. With Imagen holding all the cards, and personal and public freedoms at stake, how far will Cassie go to end the deception?

Immerse yourself in a near-future world akin to Black Mirror and Vox with an all-too plausible slant on reality and fantasy for our ‘connected’ times.

A compelling read with an engaging but flawed heroine, exploring a near future with an all-too-plausible Black Mirror slant on reality and fantasy. A publicist will be spearheading a PR campaign, capitalising on a premise that is ripe for discussion, review and word-of-mouth chatter. Taps into a number of ‘what if’ possibilities and readers’ appetite for more cautionary tale fiction or ‘near dystopias’ in the wake of The Handmaid’s Tale resurgence and the sequel The Testaments. The author’s first novel, The Last Treasure Hunt, was selected as a Waterstones Debut of the Year.
