A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

After a terrorist disrupts a demonstration of a pre-release verion of the virtual reality game eXistenZ, a game that plugs directly into the player's nervous system, its inventor, Allegra Geller, and security guard Ted Pikul, escape into the landscape of middle America with the sole copy of the game.
While Allegra is anxious to determine the extent of the game's damage, Ted, who's out of his depth in this society of gamers and their ruthless and relentless enemies, is forced to rise to feats of heroism as the couple run into murder and sabotage at every turn. Finally finding a safe haven in the mountains at an abandoned ski chalet, Ted and Allegra are thrust into the game. As they find themselves dragged into a bewildering labyrinth of betrayal and death, they realise that they can no longer tell where reality ends and the game begins...
