Cold-Snap (Paperback)

Adam Wilson likes to play Games. And why not? The kind he plays feel more real, and certainly more interesting, than his everyday life. Real-world employment is largely a thing of the past and his physical needs are paid for from the proceeds of the Legacy Grant that every American is born into. Adam has no complaints until he meets a mysterious woman named Catharine, and his cozy little world starts to fall apart.

Then the computer that runs it all starts calling itself "Petrus"...
