The Uncle Reggie clone invites Ange to play an innovative and sensorily immersive kind of game, one that involves adopting an avatar role where you become someone frighteningly like yourself in a world that rapidly goes crazy. As Ashlie Sweet, Angela Parker finds herself fighting villains that look uncommonly like today's politicians in a small U.S. town. Everything apparently normal in this small town rapidly goes belly up: there are race riots, detention-centers, murder, and that's just in the first week. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e What's more - with her game based boyfriend Norman Mené - she discovers they're in a game within a game and that they (their real theys back in Nottingham U.K. and Sydney, Australia and all the other places where the game players come from) are being data mined. The stakes aren't just in winning or losing a game. Maybe the fate of the free world hangs in the balance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Talk about doing a girl's head in.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen J.
