The Iteration (& Prometheuz): Books I & 2 of the XREAL Series in 1 Edition

The XREAL Series is set against the backdrop of what we all know is coming.

Five stories about a poor dupe who could be any one of us, his lover, and the richest man in the world. They're bound together in a triangle of hell, which draws in the great players of the Age and those who loathe them, into a world there is no escaping.

CLIMATE EMERGENCY, DAY1023 and counting...
>Two such inmates, Jake and Carrie, lovers and cellmates, are on the brink of suffocation-induced loathing. And while Jake, tired of virtual FakeReal worlds and distant calls with distant friends, breaks the curfew to escape Carrie and climbs to the roof of the Pierspoint for the chance to catch a patch of blue above the smog, Carrie is looking elsewhere for companionship, as she virtually invites a virtual stranger into her very real home.
And unbeknownst to her, he is the man who bought the world and sold it for scrap.
He is Julius Adamos Kyriku.
>And he'll do what he always does, for pennies on the dime.

It'd be too much for any man to take - but then Jake isn't just a man anymore. Not only is he to be squeezed, uncomfortably, into the role of rebooted Olympian for the entertainment of the locked-away masses, but there's another Jake out there in the world, unseen.

And through the luminous fibres that thread this locked down world, Jake2 sees it all, and plays his long game ...
