Bücher der Reihe Post-Self

"I am saying that you trust me - really trust me - and that life in the System is more subtle than I think you know. You let me into your dreams, my dear, and your dreams influence this place as much as, if not more than, your waking mind."No longer bound to the physical, what lengths should one go to in a virtual world to ensure the continuity of one's existence?Secession. Launch. Two separations from two societies, two hundred years apart. And through it all, so many parallels run on so many levels that it can be dizzying just keeping up. The more Ioan and Codrin B¿lan learn, the more it calls into question the motivations of even those they hold most dear.

"All artists search. I search for stories, in this post-self age. What happens when you can no longer call yourself an individual, when you have split your sense of self among several instances? How do you react? Do you withdraw into yourself, become a hermit? Do you expand until you lose all sense of identity? Do you fragment? Do you go about it deliberately, or do you let nature and chance take their course?"With immersive technology at its peak, it''s all too easy to get lost. When RJ loses emself in that virtual world, not only must ey find eir way out, but find all the answers ey can along the way.And, nearly a century on, society still struggles with the ramifications of those answers.Recipient of the 2020 Leo Literary Award.
