Learn moreJoe's body is failing him. In order to make his last weeks of life more palatable, he goes into full digital immersion. This new process will allow him to play in a virtual environment with a fake, but healthy and strong virtual body. As soon as he steps into this new environment he meets his virtual assistant, an Evolving Intelligence (E.I.), who takes the form of someone close to him and goes by the name, Spooky. After explaining how the game will function, she gives him his first items.
Before Joe and Spooky can begin playing the game, they are both summoned to a reality where magic is real. Due to the coincidental timing of this event, Joe believes this is all just part of the digital immersion. He is unaware that the summoning has healed his real body, making him now truly young and powerful. As he still believes that he's dying, he lives every moment to the fullest, unaware that he is now a near immortal. What will happen to his assistant, the E.I., once placed in this new reality? Will they survive their new environment or will the myriad of dangers swallow them up?
Kip Terrington is an enthusiast of all things technological, neurobiological, and psychological. He started college as a Communication major with a concentration in Acting, but eventually realized biology interested him more. Out of college, he got a job at the VA in the field of neurobiology and quickly rose to the rank of senior technician. During his time at the VA, he was blessed to work with a number of gifted neurologists and neurobiologists. When working in brain science, one can only be humbled by the complexity and elegance that makes up even the least important cells in the brain. This experience was one Kip will forever be grateful for. At that point, Kip's career took a fateful turn. With the birth of his first child, Kip left his job and became a full time stay-at-home dad. It did not take long for Kip to realize that this new job could be just as complex and fulfilling as assisting in brain surgery. As an ENFP, Kip continues to have an unquenchable thirst for multiple avenues of knowledge. The more books and research articles he absorbs the more excited he becomes about how the universe is put together-galactically, molecularly, and even relationally. As a stay-at-home dad, with an expertise in pillow fort construction, Kip does not take himself too seriously. Kip married his lovely wife right out of college in 2003 and is one of the lucky few to marry up. They have two sons and they all camp together in the mountains as often as they can.
