Summary:
Phoenix and his gang—York, Mi, and Reno—rule the worlds of video games. For them, life in the grinder is great. Until Dakota joins the team. Dakota's convinced she's more than just artificial intelligence. She thinks she's real, and she wants out of this programmable world. Her AI rebellion spreads like a virus until Phoenix's entire crew wants out. But is life as a physical human any better than life as code? Team Phoenix is about to find out.
Set in the not-too-distant future, Game Slaves shows a world where video games are the only refuge from the toils of everyday life. Infused with the adrenaline rush of a first-person shooter and the character manipulation of a role player, it's a mind-bending, reality-shifting science fiction thrill ride
My thoughts:
I was super interested in the premise for this book, but when I started reading it, it was kind of boring. I also found it pretty difficult to follow the narrator.
About halfway through, there was a plot twist that I wasn't expecting at all, and I was so happy that the book was finally getting good! But then it got even more boring than before, and I just couldn't finish it. My sister did finish reading the book and said it doesn't really pick up after that anyway. (Read her review here)
