The first book in a provocative new series from acclaimed author Donna Freitas—Feed for a new generation.
Humanity
is split into the App World and the Real World—an extravagant virtual
world for the wealthy and a dying physical world for the poor. Years
ago, Skylar Cruz’s family sent her to the App World for a chance at a
better life.
Now Skye is a nobody, a virtual sixteen-year-old
girl without any glamorous effects or expensive downloads to make her
stand out in the App World. Yet none of that matters to Skye. All she
wants is a chance to unplug and see her mother and sister again.
But
when the borders between worlds suddenly close, Skye loses that chance.
Desperate to reach her family, Skye risks everything to get back to the
physical world. Once she arrives, however, she discovers a much larger,
darker reality than the one she remembers.
In the tradition of M. T. Anderson’s Feed and Scott Westerfeld’s Uglies, Unplugged kicks off a thrilling and timely sci-fi series for teens from an award-winning writer.
