The Safety Net

By Joseph VanWagoner

Nearly all of humanity lives inside SafetyNet-a global virtual world where consciousness, commerce, and daily life run seamless and uninterrupted. But when a radical anti-tech group known as The Greenhouse replaces the President of the United States with a shape-shifting body double, they initiate a total system lockdown. Half the world's population is trapped inside their avatars, leaving human life teetering on total collapse.

In the physical world, rogue hacker Dallin and his brilliant ally Legrand race against time to uncover the conspiracy before it's too late. Meanwhile, inside the digital domain, Dallin's crew-a ragtag team of gamers playing as legendary avatars, space pilots, and cybernetic warriors-find themselves caught in a crossfire where the digital boundaries are disintegrating.

To stop the lockdown, Dallin and his squad must bridge the gap between virtuality and reality, weaponizing game hacks in real-world tactical warfare. Facing high-stakes firefights, systemic betrayals, and impossible sacrifices, they must dismantle The Greenhouse before the network's fail-safes reset-and wipe out millions of minds forever.
