內容簡介:Science-fiction superstar and multiple Hugo and Nebula Award winner Nancy Kress comes to YA in this brain-twisting thriller
How far would you go?
The Collapse has ransacked the economy,making work almost impossible to find and forcing Amy from college hopeful to sole provider for her terminally-ill grandmother and rebellious younger sister.To make ends meet,Amy auditions for a slot on a new reality TV show,which promises both a hefty salary and full medical benefits for her entire family.Somehow,she gets chosen,and she leaps to sign a contract despite her misgivings.
The show in which she’ll take part has an irresistible premise: audience members can win millions by predicting the behavior of each member of the cast in a crisis.But the producers are willing to do anything to maintain ratings,including using blatant setups,24/7 surveillance,and even state-of-the-art holographic technology to simulate danger.But soon,the danger becomes all too real,and Amy?on and off the camera?must fight for her life?.
