The G.O.D. Machine

Becoming lost in a world of her own is the last thing on Holly Winston's to-do list in the pursuit of her academic and career goals. She has her assignment: poke, prod, dig at, do whatever it takes to break the dream-spell illusion of a virtual reality of haunting realism.

The problem is when virtual reality begins to poke back, and lines between what Holly knows to be real and not real become blurred. As the technological fantasy draws her in with its seductive potential, Holly finds that she cannot so easily dismiss the dream world as mere digital vapor. What is a creator to do when her creations question their virtual existence? Compelled to find answers Holly falls deeper into the fantasy, only to find more questions with astounding implications. And, peering into the darkness between creations, she discovers a reflection...but whose face is looking back at her, beckoning her to go farther, and to where is she being called?
