Simulation Theory (Comixology Originals) #1

In the not-so-distant future, resources are scarce, and inflation is rampant. Environmental catastrophe looms on the horizon. However, there is a glimmer of hope: The Verse, a one-to-one digital simulation of reality. The Corporation offers a tantalizing proposition - liquidate your assets and transfer your consciousness into the metaverse. Here, you can live in a virtual world, with a virtual mansion and infinite virtual money, for as long as you desire. Within the simulation, there is no harm, no violence, no problems. And to sweeten the deal, the Corporation will keep your body on ice in cryo storage for ten years, just in case you change your mind.

Ash, our protagonist, is one of the last holdouts, but when she is nearly killed in the "real world" over a gambling debt, she takes up an offer from an old friend who works for the Corporation and transfers into the simulation. At first, Ash enjoys her new digital life, but as she spends more time in the Verse, she begins to feel that something is seriously wrong. It isn't long before she stumbles upon a vast and sprawling conspiracy, finding herself in the crosshairs of some very dangerous people.
