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 revolutionary sleep-therapy program that merges the subconscious with virtual reality. The deeper Pip descends the cloud, the less she can distinguish what she's uncovering from what she's creating. Reality shifts in the waking world. And the people who built the technology have their own reasons for wanting Pip locked into the program — reasons worth killing for.
Blending science fiction with psychological horror, surreal fantasy, and the disorientation of the mind turning against itself, Opposite World is about the stories we build to survive and what happens when the architecture holding up those narratives collapses.
For readers of Christopher Priest's The Affirmation and Stanisław Lem's Solaris.

Recenzii
"Martins has fun meticulously unpeeling the onion layers of Pip’s mind and showing how truth and trust can be malleable concepts. 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 gripping, inventive and very human tech thriller."
“An articulate near-future Black Mirror-style take on loss and memory in a high thriller package."
"This is a story of trust, and a brilliant, unique journey into the vulnerabilities and insecurities of the self."
“Imaginative, sophisticated, and full of suspense.”
“Thought-provoking…perfect for fans of mind-bending sci-fi like Inception.”
"Opposite World opens as a mysterious coming-of-age story but charts off-course to explore states of the human mind. The real and the virtual blend into an inescapable, claustrophobic nightmare. This story proffers a cautionary tale about the lures and dangers of the surreal world, and the level of control over our lives that we relinquish to technology. For fans of cutting-edge psychological terror replete with cultural fears."
