What could go wrong if some scientist create a way to upload your consciousness in a digital universe, so that when you die - provided you are in a connected zone... - you may live forever? Well, people could decide to commit suicide to go there. Thus, a complicated system is created, where you will get "Node points" which can be used in the afterlife to buy things. Of course, nobody could really be sure that the Paradise, or whatever you want to call it, exists: in the meantime, people illicitly trade points, because it's better to be ready... except for revolutionists which try to cancel all those points. This is the framework for this book, where the protagonist Camille will manage to make a (round) trip to the afterlife, where she finds that things are a bit different from what people are told.
The book has a couple of loose ends, and the ending is quite abrupt: but it is a very nice read. I recommend it to people who like stories packed with action. ( )
