Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Welcome to 2051, where "health" is maintained through mandated neuro-electromagnetics, and AI animatronic humanoids have covertly become self-aware.The world boasts safety and freedom from crime, thanks to Directed Neuroplasticity Therapy and political unification under the World Council. However, a precocious teenager and her researcher father inadvertently discover dark side effects of the therapy, while a programmer's error unleashes a trio of self-aware animatronics upon the world.As this unexpected turn threatens the hard-won stability of society, questions arise about how humanity will cope. What challenges will humanoid robots with superior intelligence pose, and how will our future society respond? In Virtuality: Book I by Ragnar Kroll, readers are immersed in the thrilling and terrifying world of the near future.---"This is a knockout. A novel that's as smart as it is compelling, that challenges our preconceptions while pulling us so deeply into its world. There's a strong identification with the characters in how we see what they see, just on the edge of our ability to comprehend it. Utterly fascinating and impossible to put down."-- David Schiller, author of Guitar and The Little Book of Zen
