Claudia, upon receiving a hit to the head, becomes sentient, and starts to realize that she actually can't control her actions or words. And it really shows the structure of society, how the high class lives off the lower classes' suffering, because think about it: if you had the choice to either control someone or be controlled, everyone would definitely rather be the one in power, the one controlling. This is just a touch spoilery, but think about it: the low class/poor people are forced to be characters that the high class pay to control. The idea of a characters in role-playing games actually being real people controlled by other gamers? Daaang. This book definitely has a seriously cool idea. ![]() ![]() I must say, it feels nice being able to finish a book in a day again. I don't think I'll ever look at video games the same after this! Hi!
