Replika: Sky's Mission
Um þessa hljóðbók
"...an absolute blockbuster of a tale that not only absorbs every bit of your attention but will have you pondering about the nature of reality..."-Pikasho Deka for Readers' Favorite
Reality is an illusion worth fighting for.
Earth avoids ecological collapse when most of the population permanently uploads into a simulated reality called Replika. Upon entering, individuals agree to have their memories wiped clean making them unaware the new life is only a simulation.
Not everyone is willing to play by the rules…
Sky refuses to enter Replika and devotes her life to rebuilding the real world left in ruins. But when she finds out her brother’s life is in danger, she is forced to choose which reality needs her most. As she uncovers the terrible secrets surrounding her brother’s uploading into the simulation she realizes her mission isn’t only about saving him–the control over reality is also at stake.
Hugo Bernard creatively builds on the legacy of Snow Crash and The Peripheral to create an original, thought-provoking and fast-paced techno thriller with a visionary outlook on how simulated reality will shape our future.
"Replika is easily one of the best cyberpunk books I’ve read this year."-S.C Jensen, author of Bubbles in Space
"...a complex thriller about power and hope whilst never missing a beat."-K.C. Finn for Readers' Favorite

Hugo Bernard is always seeking a fresh perspective on old ideas by twisting stories around, flipping them over, and turning them inside out (he does this with his laundry too and it drives his wife crazy). Bernard explores the complexity of humanity and civilization with recurring themes found throughout his work, be it the flaws in human perception, how memories define who we are, and the unresolved question of how the human mind will differ from the most advanced AI. He enjoys reading clever science-fiction as well as literary fiction. He is also passionate about comfortable chairs, panoramic views and brothy soups.
