โฆ Synopsis
Everyday Reality is a Dragโข. FUNยฎโthe latest in augmented realityโis fun but it's also frustrating, glitchy and dangerously addictive . Just when everyone else is getting on, seventeen-year-old Aaron O'Faolain wants off. But first, he has to complete his Application for Termination, and in order to do that he has to deal with his Historyโnot to mention the present, including his grandfather's suicide and a series of clues that may (or may not) lead to buried treasure. As he attempts to unravel the mystery, Aaron is sidetracked again . . . and again. Shadowed by his virtual "best friend" Homie, Aaron struggles with love, loss, dog bites, werewolf pills, community theater, wild horses, wildfires and the fact (deep breath) that actual reality can sometimes surprise you. Sean McGinty's strikingly profound debut unearths a world that is eerily familiar, yet utterly original. Discover what it means to come to the end of fun.
