The novel is really great! (I especially liked the depiction of the race dynamics that progressively lead the project lead to cut down on safety.) I’m confused by one of the plot points:
Jerry interacts with Juna (Virtua) before she is supposed to be launched publicly. Is the idea that she was already connected to the outside world in a limited way, such as through the Unlife chat?
Interesting that you mention this. I just discussed it with someone else who made the same point. Honestly, I didn’t think it through while writing the novel, so you could regard it as a logical flaw. However, in hindsight and inspired by the comments of the other person, I came up with a theory about how this was possible which I will include in a revised version at some later point.
