In sci-fi author Sam Landstrom's MetaGame, he creates a believable but disturbing world with fewer than six degrees of separation. In fact, every single person, product, pastime, and proclivity humans take part in is interconnected. Life is The Game - and winners never die.
In The Game, points amount to currency and top scorers are eligible for immortality. A mysterious, unifying force, The OverSoul, calls the shots and an individual player's health contract can be indefinitely extended - and, with the offer of a permanent twenty-year-old's body and health - it's with fanaticism that gamers play The Game. D"Light is one of the best players in his Family and will do anything to win, even if it means committing murder. When he's invited to a MetaGame - an exclusive, high-stakes competition - he jumps at the chance. But after the first quest, D"Light's overly ambitious ways brand him a renegade. With a warped sense of freewill that is needed to prevail, D"Light must either kill someone he's grown to love - or lose everything.
