HTML: From Jessica Khoury comes a high-action sci-fi adventure about a video game AI come to life. Warcross meets Ready Player One in this thriller set in a high-tech near future. Bullied at school and home, Ash finds respite from his unhappy life in virtual reality games. One night, he spends his meager savings to help a stranger, who thanks him with a copy of an old fantasy game called The Glass Realm. While exploring the game, Ash meets a seemingly humble shopkeeper named Ruby. But from the start, Ruby seems different than the other townsfolkâ??especially when she and Ash stumble across an in-game quest designed not for the player, but for Ruby to solve. When Ruby begins developing powerful abilities that can rewrite the very code of the game, they realize she is far more than a pre-programmed side character. Following the quest left for her in The Glass Realm, the pair discover that Ruby is actually a sentient AI who's been hidden inside the game. Originally built as a weapon, her developer stole her from his employers and hid her away, hoping to keep her safe. That safety vanishes when Ash and Ruby are targeted by the powerful shadow organization who funded Ruby's development, and who would use her to spark a world war to rack up huge profits. Caught in a deadly game that blurs the lines between real and virtual, Ash and Ruby must flee for their lives. If they lose this gameâ??they might just doom the world No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Ash and Ruby share the narrative and when they embark on a quest to discover who Ruby really is, and her link to the man who gave Ash the game, the action ramps up. It was exciting, and fast-paced, and I enjoyed the world of virtual gaming - something I know nothing about. It also made me think about how technology will be used in the future. Hopefully, AI will never have the power that is depicted in this novel.
Ruby and Ash were fabulous characters, especially Ruby, and while I don't think there will be another book starring the two of them, Variel, the milkmaid, could be the next AI to have an adventure in both the real and virtual world. I hope so because "The Ruby Code" was a refreshing read. ( )
