Description
A gripping science fiction thriller set in a high-surveillance future, Utopia Five challenges everything you think you know about the future. In 2036, during a global disaster that killed both their parents, Lee Sands saves the life of his younger brother Nemo. Eighteen years later, they run the most successful games company on the planet. While testing Nemo's latest game - codenamed Utopia Five - Lee is almost killed in what appears to be a terrible accident. Nemo suddenly disappears, and Lee discovers he has been locked out of Control - a world simulator and the centrepiece of their games empire. Without it, Lee is powerless. To rescue Nemo and regain access to their metaverse, Lee must travel across England, navigating an omniscient global surveillance system called the Panopticon. As Lee navigates this treacherous landscape, he meets an aged judge, an executioner, and an ex-soldier who are roaming the country with a young, adopted family. Along the way, they uncover the secret behind the virtual world of Utopia Five, revealing that Lee and Nemo's immersive games have become fundamental to the new world order.
