Two corporations have replaced the US, splitting the country's remaining forty-five states (five have been submerged under the ocean) between them: Stellaxis Innovations and Greenleaf. There are nine supercities within the continental US, and New Liberty City is the only amalgamated city split between the two megacorps, and thus at a perpetual state of civil war as the feeds broadcast the atrocities committed by each side. Here, Mallory streams Stellaxis's wargame SecOps on BestLife, spending more time jacked in than in the world just to eke out a hardscrabble living from tips. When a chance encounter with one of the game's rare super-soldiers leads to a side job for Mal--looking to link an actual missing girl to one of the SecOps characters. Mal's sudden burst in online fame rivals her deepening fear of what she is uncovering about BestLife's developer, and puts her in the kind of danger she's only experienced through her avatar."-- $c Publisher's description. 650 0 $a Women video gamers $v Fiction. $9 129535 650 0 $a Corporations $x Corrupt practices $v Fiction. $9 42253 650 0 $a Missing persons $v Fiction. $9 4935 650 0 $a Science fiction. $9 3206 655 7 $a Dystopian fiction. $2 lcgft $9 27635 941 $a 1 952 $l CZPD706 $d 20230603010348.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F4D14EF801D311EEACDD33752EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
