Arcade

the long version

In a world governed by a secretive stratum of society, lives the most unlikely deliverer. Her name is Tiffany Rossi. She is a child who is commonplace in appearance, but not in mind. Not even her parents realize that she is a savant. It is not until Tiffany stumbles into the Arcade Network that her mental ability is made known. The Arcade Network is the next step in the evolution of social media. It allows the world's elite to interact in a virtual realm where they can play, socialize, and conduct business within a multitude of virtual venues. While Tiffany functions in this virtual realm, it is as though two of her are sometimes present in different locations. One of these selves is passive, while the other exhibits militant tendencies. The novel ends shortly after a fascist worldwide government is overthrown by her.
