Description

The real world is only where you breathe...

In High Earth, digital entertainment is everything. Shows. Virtual Worlds. Simulations-there's something for everybody in a city where working for a living has been rendered obsolete by technological advancements. Even a short walk outside to visit with others is no longer necessary. Just load into the network and one can be with anyone, anywhere.

For Asher Reinhart, nothing compares to Ignis: Live, a reality show that pushes the very limits of what human beings can endure. As a volunteer director, Asher closely monitors the lives of those living on an interstellar ark, believing they're the last of humanity. 

But when it's determined that the life of the show's brightest star, Mission, must be put in danger to boost declining ratings, Asher is forced to choose: the show he loves, or the woman whose life has been the focus of his life since the day he was born.

Vicarious (adjective): Experienced in the imagination through the feelings or actions of another person.

The Truman Show meets Ready Player One in this new book about the power of human connection from USA Today Bestselling and Nebula Award-Nominated author Rhett C. Bruno. It's perfect for fans of Hugh Howey, Kim Stanley Robinson, and Michael Crichton.
