SIMULATION
is a fictional novel and is the debut release from Dystopian Thriller author M.
Black.
A
YA SyFy dystopia, along the lines of City of Ember meets CW’s The 100. This
story will capture your heart and still won’t let go even at the end. Written
in part while listening to Outside by Ellie Goulding, this story contrasts
technology to nature, rich to poor, privilege to hardship, and illusion to
reality.
“No
one is getting in but whom we allow, and no one is ever getting out.”
Set
in 2175 in Colorado, USA, where Citigogs are the new form of cities and
citizens are kept under a careful population control, we meet Ilia the Princess
of our main Citigog named Iliad, and Jez a Giver. As Ilia spends more time with
Jez, she finds herself drawn to the Outside and ventures out of her Citigog
only to learn that everything is not what it seems.
Fans
of the Divergent and Hunger Games series will revel in this story about a
strong, but disillusioned heroine who must become brave as she uncovers the
truth about her world.
