Second World Narratives Books

The CoronaVirus epidemic changed the rules as to how we live in our world. Like all pandemics, it has consequences that will last for many years.Virtual Reality has opened up avenues where people can escape the realities of the earth and live alternative lives at a time of lost holidays, failed ambitions and lockdowns. This book was originally written twelve years as ago as ‘Second World’, and was a great success. It is more relevant now because Virtual Reality will help people escape the effects on the new lifestyle of CoronaVirus.Conor Smith, a GameMaster at the top of his profession, lives between RealWorld, where we actually live, and SecondWorld, a place of Virtual Reality where millions of us go to realise our dreams and ambitions. For some, the two worlds have blurred together and many ordinary people live boring lives in RealWorld and then escape to Second World – where anything goes from sex to murder, and lets you get away with it. But everything comes at a price. Sinister forces are starting to control Second World; forces that can bring down governments and have no qualms as to who they hurt in their ‘Anything-Goes’ virtual environment. Virtual Reality is not a safe place any longer for those who use it. Millions will die and never return to their RealWorld lives.Conor Smith is called in to play the most important game of his life – for real. If he fails he will die alone, never to be discovered in The Dark Areas of Virtual Reality. The technology of this book is with us now. So is CoronaVirus. Be aware before it kills you too.
