The Game
When virtual reality become indistinguishable from actual reality, will we be able to tell the difference?
The Game is the most widely viewed VR broadcast on The Stream. Billions watch it nightly. But in this virtual world where fantasy becomes real, can those who participate in it maintain their sanity for long?
Enter a world of VR gaming where fantasy becomes real. Where dragons fly and zombies march. Where a small band of heroes must fight to the death to claim a winner-take-all, 10-million dollar prize.
"The Game blends elements of LitRPG with social commentary to explore virtual reality in a way unlike anything you have seen before."
"For those of us who miss the daring mind-benders of Robert Silverberg, Clifford Simak, and Philip K Dick, but also crave the contemporary style of thriller, this post-litrRPG (or possibly meta-litRPG) snappy adventure by Steve R. Yeager is very much the right stuff. Fantasy characters on a quest—check. Virtual reality—check. Meditations of futuristic society—check. Power games and twists—check. Excitement—CHECK!" — Harry F. Kane

Entertaining book
Many people try to write about virtual reality and where it may lead. Few are as successful at it as Steve Yeager. This was an enjoyable book that also made me think. I would recommend it.
