Humanity never defeated fear, guilt, or despair. It outsourced them into simulations. The Replicas are quantum worlds built to contain humanity's darkest emotional residue. In one world, people live under the tyranny of corporate ratings. In another, they are ruled by debt, steam, and rusted laws. Somewhere farther down the chain wait magic, samurai, and other carefully engineered forms of human hell. Alex Nord was a successful lawyer on Phobos-Port, and he believed his life was real. Then a medical scan split his consciousness open, and he woke inside another man's body - in a world where someone else's pain had become his memory. Now Alex is a bug in the system. He moves through the Replicas, inhabiting borrowed lives and searching for the Core - the only world that might still be real. Behind him come the cleanup algorithms. Through the cracks, something is watching - something for which human consciousness is nothing more than an error of observation. And it has already noticed that Alex is awake.

In the decade of the 2050s, VOXA, a virtual reality social media, rose into popularity. Everyone was completely unrecognizable in the universe-their real names, origins, appearances, wealth, gender, fame, and titles were hidden, unless an avatar told them. Users would also not be able to distinguish blood relatives and real-life friends from strangers. Instead, they would have to look for their chosen families. The VOXA app was inspired by the novels of the best-selling author named Raven North, who was secretly Roxana Steinberg, a plain-looking teenage American girl who spent most of her time in her room typing stories on her tablet. Everyone else was unaware of her hidden fame and wealth. In the virtual universe, she walked as Angela. Though friendless in the real world, Angela spent her VOXA adventure with five people from different countries-Edward from the United Kingdom, Karl from Germany, Claire from France, and Camilla from the United States-who were very fond of her novels and treated her as if she were a family member. Among her friends, Edward stood out the most. Unlike everyone else, his avatar looked strikingly ordinary and acted in an oddly formal way in a supposedly casual setting. He was also very secretive, refusing to give his name and dodging questions by giving riddles to solve. And when they talked about Raven North's novels, his remarkable intelligence shone and he spoke in a graceful and flawless manner, making his friends doubt that he was no older than a teenager. Noticing his strangeness and eager to know more about him, Angela and her friends helped each other figure out his true identity. Was he a real user? An AI? Who is he? What kind of person is he?

Xavier Bell's life is going nowhere. At twenty-four, he's broke, lonely, and stuck working closing shifts at McDonald's while the rest of the world seems to be moving on without him. Then Ascend Life launches-the most advanced life-simulation MMO ever created. Inside the game, players become Guides, invisible voices assigned to help digital inhabitants survive and thrive in the sprawling island city of Ascend Bay. For Xavier, it is supposed to be an escape. Then he meets Lena Vale. Guarded, stubborn, and fighting to survive in one of Ascend Bay's poorest districts, Lena does not want a Guide. She does not trust Xavier. She barely trusts anyone. But the more he helps her, the more real she feels. Her fear. Her humor. Her anger. Her loneliness. Soon, Ascend Life stops feeling like a game. And when rumors spread that the people inside Ascend Bay may not be artificial at all, Xavier is forced to face a terrifying question: If Lena is real... what has he been playing?
