Edison

Ed wants nothing more than to be left to his own devices–specifically his PC and the role-playing game to which he has devoted his life. When a hacker wrests control of his computer and notifies him of an imminent threat, Ed is supplanted from his home and forced to go on the lam.

Meanwhile, a mysterious contagion has landed in the City of Antwood, frightening authorities into declaring Medical Law and turning freedom on its head. Businesses are shut down, movement is restricted, and the people are force-fed fear by the pound.

Questions upon questions arise. Why are the men in white uniforms after him? What is this disease permeating the city? Why does the Librarian in hiding want him to keep playing The Game? And what is the deal with all these white masks–in-game and out?

The more Ed plays The Game, the more he comes to realize strange connections between it and the real world; that perhaps something malevolent has escaped from inside, winding its tendrils around Antwood in an attempt to strangulate the very city itself.

As he delves deeper into The Game than ever thought possible, can Ed find the courage to destroy what he loves to set himself free?
