More about this title
-
Manuel wakes to find himself locked in a white room. He has no memory of anything. He doesn’t know who he is or how he got here. His only interaction is with a computer-generated voice named Alice, through which he is able to access the internet. Online, Manuel gradually discovers what happened to him: he was critically injured in an attempted abduction. But how did he manage to survive the attack? Is any of this true? And who is Manuel really?
A gripping thriller in which nothing is as it seems. In this young adult book, Spiegel-bestselling author Karl Olsberg explores the dangers of virtual worlds and artificial intelligence, and raises fundamental philosophical questions about reality and identity. The suspense builds right to the end, with a twist that will take your breath away!
