Virtual Requiem is the first installment in the Artificial Trilogy, a thrilling dive into the blurred boundaries between reality and artificial worlds. This book introduces readers to a diverse cast of characters navigating a technologically advanced society, grappling with questions of identity, loyalty, and survival.
The Inspiration:
The characters in Virtual Requiem are deeply personal, each based on people who played pivotal roles in my life. My fiancé and I are portrayed as the central gay couple, while Erin is inspired by my roommate. Scullder draws inspiration from a player I encountered in World of Warcraft, and Jason’s character is based on a Twitch streamer whose journey with me ended in disconnection. These connections make the story both a tribute and a reflection of real-life complexities.
Themes:
At its heart, Virtual Requiem explores how technology shapes our relationships and self-perceptions. It delves into questions of humanity’s reliance on artificial constructs, the consequences of disconnection, and the bonds that tether us to reality amidst virtual chaos.
Reader Appeal:
This book is perfect for fans of speculative fiction, complex character dynamics, and stories that challenge the boundaries between the virtual and the real.
What's Next:
Virtual Requiem is only the beginning. The Artificial Trilogy promises to expand on the themes and conflicts introduced here, taking readers on an unforgettable journey into the heart of a digital revolution.
