Invitation to the Game

Hughes, Monica. Invitation to the Game. Toronto, ON: HarperCollins, 1992.

From "Out of This World: Canadian Science Fiction and Fantasy," an annotated reading list from the National Library of Canada: "Whether it was computer simulation, hypnotic suggestion[,] or reality, The Game had become the centre of existence for a group of youngsters cast into life in a drab twenty-second-century city. In addition to an interesting and original story-line, this novel presents a new view of what constitutes a family. (Young adult)" (p. 40).

See for an immersive game; cf. and contrast Sagas in The City and the Stars, and more recent game-themed works from TRON (1982) to Ready Player One as novel and film to FREE GUY and the works referenced there.
