About
A compelling, sharp-edged crime thriller with a digital twist that will leave you questioning what is real and what is virtual' James Swallow, bestselling author of Nomad
A GRIPPING, UP-TO-THE-MINUTE THRILLER FOR FANS OF THE MATRIX, NOMAD AND M. R. CAREY.
For role-playing gamers like Mina and Thomas, reality can blur when you spend too much time online. But when Thomas disappears, not only from the virtual world but also from real life, Mina sets out to search for him. When she discovers that other Berliners have gone missing, all of them participants in the same game, she worries that she will be next.
Chief Inspector Eisenberg heads up a team that is supposed to track and prevent potential terrorists. But identifying suspects via pattern recognition doesn't help - you can't arrest someone before a crime has been committed. Faced with uniting a brilliant but unruly team made up of hackers and coders, Eisenberg is drawn into the puzzle of the missing gamers - all of whom had the same in-game experience immediately before they disappeared.
Will Eisenberg and his team be able to unravel the truth from the fiction before it's too late? Karl Olsberg has been writing for over a decade and has a doctorate in artificial intelligence. He works as a business consultant and author and lives with his wife and three sons in Hamburg. His 2007 published debut The System became an instant bestseller. Delete is a gripping thriller that explores the power of the online world, where it's sometimes hard to leave the virtual for the real, and shows us how far we've come - and asks how far will we go? For fans of World of Warcraft and other VR games A high-concept thriller for readers of M. R. Carey, Lauren Beukes and Station Eleven.
