- Reading
- Read together or check in after the more perilous scenes, if helpful; the story combines life-threatening technology with pursuit and conflict across two worlds.
- Themes
- Consent and dangerous technology: Hospital patients are made to test a full-sensory VR device without their knowledge, and the technology is deadly. Simon and Kat set out to oppose the Company. The plot casts the covert, dangerous testing as a harm the protagonists seek to stop, rather than as an acceptable use of technology.
- Worth knowing
- The plot includes a near-fatal accident, coerced medical testing with deadly consequences, characters being hunted and war in a virtual world; these make danger and harm prominent.
