YA
Freesia's world is perfect: sunny weather, extensive wardrobe, no homework. But when she discovers that "Freesia" is an avatar in a virtual reality experiment, she's forced to contend with a real world she barely remembers. Snow contrasts the flawless, eerily possible "Bubble World" with a messy, unattractive, but still appealing reality, raising interesting questions about the nature of technology and truth.
