Polaris: Oneiromancer 1 : The Fiction Addiction
Polaris, by Reis Murphy, is a scifi epic that’s conscious of other famous virtual worlds and dream worlds. It’s not a homage or reinvention as much as it considers the themes and technology of familiar cyberpunk and virtual world fiction, and then gives us a young Midwestern art student as the protag, and considers what our world of 4chan, AI and LLM could do to building a virtual world.
