In this book we have a group of teenagers united by their love of an online game, and the desire of an AI presence to establish the boundaries humans will put in place. Our main characters are twins Saffron and Georgia, both very different and determined to each show their worth.
The basic premise is simple. The group are invited to play a new game, but they don’t realise that the technology in control is determined that only one will survive.
We begin with the introduction to the characters and their situation. The majority of the group are depicted quite simply, and we’re given little about them. Before we know it there are deaths. Things suddenly get serious and we start to see who’s more than others expect.
All a little preposterous. Nobody in control of such a development would fail to put in some basic safety elements. Also rather surprised at how quickly they seemed to get over the deaths of people who were meant to be friends.
