About this book
Allegra Geller is the designer of the most advanced virtual reality game in the world, played through a living gamepod plugged into the player's spine. At the launch of her new game, a fanatic tries to kill her.
She goes on the run with a nervous young marketing trainee, Ted Pikul, and the two have to play the game to find out whether the pod has been damaged. As they go deeper, it gets harder and harder to tell where the game ends. David Cronenberg's 1999 science fiction film stars Jennifer Jason Leigh and Jude Law.
