OtherEarth by Jason SegelMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
OtherEarth is the second book in the Last Reality series by Jason Segel and Kirsten Miller. I definitely recommend reading the books in order. I think this book will be more enjoyable if you understand the stakes set up by the first book.
You don't have to be a gamer to enjoy these books, but it certainly helps! I love a book about a video game or virtual reality. This series is right in my wheelhouse. OtherEarth starts to blur the lines between the "real" world and the "virtual" world as the characters are on the run from/trying to stop the nefarious Company from its evil agenda. And even though I know it is terribly wrong, I can't help but want to try this tech that augments "reality" and makes VR indistinguishable from "reality." What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger, right?
Why do I keep putting "reality" in quotes? My fellow Cartesian skeptics know why.
Bonus points for the Dame Judi Dench cameos.
