It’s the perfect world- be anyone, do anything. The only cost? Your humanity.

Icarus believes he’s happy within the COR, a digital paradise indistinguishable from reality. Here, illness, hunger, and suffering don’t exist; only endless entertainment and unfettered pleasures.

Falling in love with his mate, Verity, shatters his perceptions. She poses a haunting question: Can one find true happiness in a world that isn’t real? As Icarus seeks the truth, he finds himself struggling against a government desperate to maintain its façade, friends who see betrayal in his doubt, and his own fears of the unknown. With each step toward freedom, he risks everything he knows for the chance to reclaim his humanity.

Discover “We Are Icarus,” a tale of virtual escapism, the quest for authenticity, and the price of paradise.

We are Icarus is a Sci-Fi Dystopian novel for fans of books like “1984”, “Brave New World” and movies like “The Matrix”.
