Why this is on Radar

A detective story set inside a virtual reality where death in the simulation is meant to be harmless.

A police officer investigates deaths inside a shared artificial environment, where the boundary between operator and avatar keeps failing. Cadigan's most concentrated writing on identity and interface.
