Networked

They thought it was just a video game, but it’s not. Someone is out there. Watching. Video game designers Nick and Dan find their half-finished project suddenly replaced with a game that is finished – and brilliant. Soon players everywhere find themselves immersed in an incredible new virtual world. But events in the game become increasingly sinister, taking over the lives of players and blurring the lines with reality. As Nick's life is thrown into turmoil, he fears for his friend Dan, and his wife Lily, and he finds himself increasingly asking: where has the game come from? Who made it? What is it for? And most importantly … What does it want from them? Networked contains several chapters depicting a character's journey with depression. Some readers may find this content upsetting.
