Elusion
by Parker, Zoe
Imagine a world where the physical reality is so bleak that everyone chooses to live inside Elusion, a high-tech sensory interface that offers a perfect, painless existence. When Regan discovers that some people are dying while logged in, she realizes the system is hiding a lethal secret. The pacing here is relentless, pushing you through the digital landscape alongside Regan as she tries to uncover the truth before the system shuts her out for good. It feels like a high-speed chase where you are never quite sure if the ground under your feet is code or concrete. This is for readers who enjoy questioning the ethics of tech-heavy futures and want a protagonist who is more interested in tearing down a corrupt system than fitting into it. If you like your dystopias with a heavy dose of digital paranoia, this is your next read.
