Summary

'Life is real...but this is Realer....'

Realer promises a new virtual reality, a safe and sanitised window into a virtual existence without the risks of the real, crumbling, post-pandemic society beyond the door.

Sixteen-year-old Charlotte 'Charlie' Mackintosh is a loner whose father works for the company. He gives her Realer for her birthday - only to be murdered as she watches through her high-tech hood at home. Alone in a tense post-lockdown world, Charlie has to turn to Realer to find his killers. She’s soon trapped in a murderous conspiracy behind a system that’s steadily beginning to take over people’s lives. Charlie comes to understand that she can only hide from outside dangers for so long.

In the end, the only way to defeat them is face-to-face, in the real world. A place she fears more than any.

Audie Award-winning author David Hewson’s edgy dystopian near-future thriller gives us a chilling glimpse into what our post-pandemic world could become.

Too Ambitious

Got bored with the plot and sometimes difficult to visualise what was going on.
The narrator was clear, but did little to improve my understanding.
I didnt finish the book.
Not what I have come to expect from David Hewson.
