The inventive and hauntingly timely story of a seventeen-year-old coder's catapult to stardom, reminiscent of The Social Network with a Ready Player One twist.

For seventeen-year-old Opal Hopper, code is magic. She can build entire worlds from scratch--shimmering lakes, Mars craters, any virtual experience her heart desires.

But she can't code her dad back into her life. When he disappeared after her tenth birthday, leaving only a cryptic note, Opal tried desperately to find him. And when he never turned up, she enrolled at a boarding school for technical prodigies and tried to forget.

Until now. Because WAVE, the world's biggest virtual reality platform, has announced a contest where the winner gets to meet its billionaire founder. The same billionaire who worked closely with Opal's dad. The one she always believed might know where he went. The one who maybe even murdered him.

What begins as a small data hack to win the contest spirals out of control when Opal goes viral, digging her deeper into a hole of lies, hacks, and manipulation. How far will Opal go for the answers--or is it the attention--she's wanted for years?

influencer digital!!

Peguei esse livro na estante de bobeira por que tinha esquecido o celular e tinha que passar o tempo de alguma forma, e olha como eu passei bem. O livro lê rápido, com personagens incríveis e questões atuais, coisa que você lê e pensa: é isso realmente vai acontecer daqui uns anos. o problema pra mim foi o final muito amplo e muito apressado, o que poderia ser mais desenvolvido nos personagens acabou indo de passagem pra colocar uma cena final um tanto aleatório. mas tirando isso, 10/10 moyo venha ser meu namorado.
