Life is a game, literally. Winners earn immortality, while losers are condemned to aging and death. DLight, a gifted player, knows this all too well and he’s willing to do anything to win—even kill. It is no wonder then that when given the chance to enter a MetaGame—an exclusive, high-stakes, anything goes contest—he’s quick to jump at the opportunity. The MetaGame starts out well enough for DLight, the first quest being to hunt down a dangerous fugitive, but through his own ambition, the tables turn and DLight finds himself the renegade. Now, DLight pits himself against his world to find the truth behind “The Game” and must decide between winning it and saving what’s left of his humanity. This book blends emerging political and cultural trends, such as gaming culture, globalizatio n, and transhumanism, into a thrilling dystopian adventure.
