Description
They were told to stay in sterile capsules to avoid deadly viruses outside...
It’s the year 45 of the Age of Perfection.
To avoid the deadly viruses outside citizens of the United State of Earth never leave their fully-automated sterile capsule apartments. A computer program called Systema looks after their physical and psychological comfort.;
The world outside the capsule is a dangerous place filled with viruses and wild animals, but you needn’t feel alone. The virtual reality of Net City offers a full social life where you can meet friends, check on your family and fall in love just like the real world…
Liza, an unassuming comment moderator, was just as happy in her capsule as anybody else.
Then one day her best friend died under mysterious circumstances, and her virtual acquaintances respond in a way that is curiously, menacingly one-dimensional.
With help from a mysterious group of rebels, Liza abandons the safe confines of her capsule in search of answers and to save her life.
How does a young man die in the Age of Perfection?
Are the avatars of Net City friends, enemies, or simply illusions?
And who is really in control of the world beyond the capsule?
Advance Praise
"I haven't read a book that made me feel this way since Orwell's 1984: claustrophobic, controlling, devastating. I liked both novels, although of the former I only remember the sensations it gave me. The Capsule by Olga Loukianova was capable of describing a future that may not be so far away and is not that different from the world we are living in today..." Keyla Damaer for Readers' Favorite
