Even as Skylar (Unplugged; The Body Market) urges people to "unplug," a virus in the App World threatens their living bodies in the real world. Multiple first-person narrators, including Skylar's two love interests, somewhat haphazardly relate events in the two realities. A subplot about real-world residents' anger toward App World refugees adds some (unsubtle) emotional depth to this sci-fi dystopian series.
