Labyrinth of Reflections

1996

The story is set in the near future, where a chance invention allows people to experience virtual reality without the need for costly hardware—a seconds long movie drives a person into a sort of psychosis, forcing one's subconsciousness to perceive a simple 3D game as real world. Soon after the invention, Microsoft and IBM build a virtual city on the Internet called "Deeptown" (named so after the street name for VR—the Deep), which anyone is free to log on and enter. The painted world becomes a second home for millions people—but some of them 'sink', i.e. forget to return to the reality and eventually die of dehydration. Only a small group of people calling themselves divers are capable of leaving the Deep at will. Gods of the virtual world, they help those who sink.
