New York Times*bestselling authors Jason Segel and Kirsten Miller imagine a world in which you can leave your body behind and give into your greatest desires in the first book in a fast-paced trilogy perfect for fans of the hit HBO show Westworld and anyone interested in the terrifying possibilities*of the future of technology.

That's how Otherworld traps you. It introduces you to sensations you'd never be able to feel in real life. You discover what's been missing-because it's taboo or illegal or because you lack the guts to do it for real. And when you find out what's missing it's almost impossible to let it go again.

There are no screens. There are no controls. You don't just see and hear it-you taste, smell, and touch it too. In this new reality, there are no laws to break or rules to obey. You can live your best life. Indulge every desire.

This is Otherworld-a virtual reality game so addictive you'll never want it to end.*And Simon has just discovered that for some, it might not.

The frightening future that Jason Segel and Kirsten Miller have imagined is not far away.*Otherworld*asks the question we'll all soon be asking: if technology can deliver everything we want, how much are we willing to pay?

Read an Excerpt

There are guys online who swear it was heaven. They still sit around like a bunch of old geezers, swapping tales of epic storms, monstrous beasts and grisly battles. Talk to any gamer in his twenties and at some point he’ll say it: “You’re too young to get it. You never saw Other­world.”
