Terminal Games

Can't sleep? Whatever you do, stay away from the Insomnimania website, where anonymous people live out anonymous fantasies--and where the line between make-believe and reality is a deadly blur. You might become the next victim of a homicidal clown named Auggie. Is he real or virtual? Ask Marianne Hedison, whose search for her best friend's killer leads her into the darkest recesses of technology and of her own imagination. No ordinary high-tech thriller, Terminal Games is a meditation on the frailty of contemporary relationships, of the dangers of living a virtual life. But you might not notice these subtleties over the pounding of your heart.
