    About this ebook

    Episode 8: Judgment Day. Stacey, Jack, and Seven strategize with two strangers, while an uncanny courtroom convenes.

    From Plato's Cave to The Matrix, philosophers and scientists and dreamers have questioned the very nature of reality. Scientists today are actually running multi-million dollar experiments to discover hints on whether or not we are living in a computer simulation.

    The world may not be exactly what it seems. There is no body. Data is data.

Jack sat close to Stacey, dabbing at the ex-boxer’s closed eye with a handkerchief provided by the small man, Michael, and the girl in the black sweats and white fuzzy socks sat far across the rear seat huddled against the door, apparently drawing pictures in the air, jabbing, dotting, swirling, grabbing.
