When the pair spot each other eight years later in a crowded train station the spark is immediate, and together they get to work on what they love – creating virtual worlds to delight, challenge and immerse. Their collaborations make them global superstars but along with success, money and fame comes betrayal and tragedy…

Review by Harriet
My top fiction pick for 2022! This epic and immersive novel is a homage to friendship, collaboration, playfulness and imagined worlds. I’m not a gamer but I loved learning about and inhabiting this totally different world and now have a whole new appreciation for it. There are so many layers to this novel – it’s about the imperfect worlds we live in, the perfect worlds we can imagine and the ways we try to reinvent ourselves in each.
