FreeWe Are Icarus
by Matt BenjaminIt’s the perfect world- be anyone, do anything. The only cost? Your humanity.

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.
