Parameters Beyond Perception: The Light Cone Escape Plan

This novel has zero recommendations. I don't know what put readers off, but nobody's reading it.

The Bund is vitrified in ten seconds. Another self lives inside Jiang Zhenhua's mind. Lu Ming's mother left behind an encrypted notebook twenty years ago. Every clue points to the same code name: 519.

A signal from the Perseus Arm, a network of silver towers spanning the globe, and a mass hibernation that steals ten years from humanity.

When they wake up from their game pods, the city is deserted, all their access has been revoked, and their memories contain vast blank stretches.

More terrifying still, they can't tell whether they're in reality or trapped in a deeper layer of the mirror world.

Four people who refuse to be pawns decide to flip the board.
