Zombies, guns, machetes and permadeath in a virtual reality game might seem inconsequential to you, but the cost of failure is a reality that Francesco could not bear. If he can loot a real-world prize or something to be auctioned for real world money, then he can get his wife into an experimental cancer treatment program that uses artificially intelligent nanobots. This fast and furious LitRPG, science-fiction book packs a punch like Saitama, the One-Punch Man, while giving us haunting glimpses of the near future and our existential predicament.
