Cloistered in the womb of 'Space, the consummate hyper-virtual reality, humanity sinks into entropy as the slow decay of life, and the environment await them at the end of time. There are rumors of things in 'Space, of people disappeared, a seductive destroyer that people at the end of their sanity go to meet in the badlands between the Slabs of virtual reality. People converge in 'Space and Flesh and their lives intersect. The intersecting lives are very far away in outlook and distance, but various circumstances occurring in 'Space slowly shift their intersections tighter and tighter. There is Ruby who comes back to her hometown of Cleveland after an aimless life to work as a Courier transporting samples of information. There is Lin, imprisoned in the secure compound in Wyoming, who spends his time acquiring people, and illegal cyber-weaponry. He also steals memories from a man named DeLote. Other people and names begin to emerge with their own agenda: J'Qwan and Hylinski, Sweetman, Marika and Berke. They all make decisions that impact their lives and slowly shift their intersections both in Flesh and 'Space. All these lives whirl closer, until one event collides their lives and forever changes the world.… (meer)

The human race has become addicted to 'Space. The internet has morphed into the all-encompassing super virtual reality of 'Space, leading to a dystopian sociey where people spend most of their time in the fake, stimulating cyber world pumped directly into their brains via ports rather than living a real life, limited by flesh.

Ruby becomes a courier, carrying data through 'Space. Lin is held in a secure compound in Wyoming, hacking his way to cyber weaponry, people and information. Add in other side characters who also flit between fleshly lives and the fantasy world in 'Space until all collide in a single event that will change the world.

It didn't take me long to get sucked into this intriguing, interesting trip into a dystopian, disfunctional world created by extreme virtual reality. Society changes. People change. Everything has evolved, widening a breach between Flesh and 'Space. The characters are engaging. The thoughts the plot evokes are intriguing. I thoroughly enjoyed this story!

The book was definitely written a sequel in mind. There is no final resolution at the end, and the last line is "End of Book 1.'' The second book, Approaching the Well of Still Time, will be forthcoming soon.

This is Sekji Ani's first book. Learn more about the author and her book here.
