Opposite World
Autor Elizabeth Anne Martinsen Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 noi 2025
Fifteen years after her mother’s mysterious death, Piper “Pip” Screed discovers The Reverie Cloud, a sleep-therapy program merging dreams with augmented reality. When the system is hijacked, her mind becomes a battlefield, her buried memories the ultimate prize. Trapped in a collapsing virtual dreamscape, Pip must navigate its mercurial layers, confront the specters of her past, and outmaneuver those who seek to weaponize her subconscious—before she’s erased entirely.
A mind-bending fusion of cerebral suspense and haunting surrealism, OPPOSITE WORLD explores the vanishing point between perception and reality—and how the aching tremor of human longing may pull us even further from both.

Descriere
Piper “Pip” Screed remembers nothing about her mother’s mysterious death or the strange episode that left her in a deep, unexplained sleep. All she knows is that her father uprooted them to a secluded mountain cabin, severed all ties to the outside world, and refuses to answer her questions.
Fifteen years later, Pip escapes isolation and discovers The Reverie Cloud—a revolutionary sleep-therapy program that merges the subconscious with virtual reality. Here, users can experience their desires, confront fears, and rewrite their pasts in a dreamscape indistinguishable from reality. But when The Reverie Cloud falls into the hands of those who see her subconscious as a prize, Pip becomes ensnared within its unstable architecture. Now locked inside the program, she must navigate its mercurial layers, face the horrors buried within her subconscious, and unravel the truth about her past before time runs out. Worse, she’s not the only one at risk—her father’s life hangs in the balance, too.
But the deeper Pip ventures, the more dangerous the game becomes. If she pushes too far, she may never escape. Yet only by confronting the truth can she hope to uncover what really happened to her mother—before the program consumes her entirely.
Blending science fiction with psychological horror, surreal fantasy, and an aching tremor of human longing, OPPOSITE WORLD is an exploration of memory, identity, and the thin divide between perception and reality.

Recenzii
"Opposite World reads rather like a course of psychotherapy with SF trappings, its narrative given impetus not so much by storytelling drive but by the protagonist’s desire, relatable and common to many, to understand herself better and heal the mental and emotional fissures left by her past."
"This is a story of trust, and a brilliant, unique journey into the vulnerabilities and insecurities of the self."
