Product Description: In the world of 3052, Max Wrighter dreamed of bringing education to the masses. He designed the DreamNet, an electronic web capable of linking its users to a dimension beyond reality-a realm from which a free exchange of knowledge and experience might enlighten the world. But with no means to enact the DreamNet, Max sold his dream to the Owners, the uberclass who ruled society. Max had faith that they would make his dreams a reality. He really was dreaming. The Owners tailored the Net to their own ends, turning it into an addictive stream of propaganda and pandering entertainment while reaping an amazing profit on its use. Consumed by greed, they moved too far, too fast, and found, to their horror, that someone...or something...was moving through the dreamstream, killing DreamNet users by the score. Max alone took action. Severing his ties to reality, he flung himself headlong into the DreamNet - and found himself capable of entering the dreams of any person linked to the Net. Max had become the Radical Dreamer...and in doing so, learned a horrible truth: In order to save mankind, he must find a way to destroy the DreamNet...and sacrifice himself in the process.
Amazon.com Review: In this age of over-saturated virtual reality stories, many of which all seem the same, writer/artist Mark Wheatley has found a new way to approach things: through our dreams. In the world of 3052, Max Wrighter envisions an electronic web that can link its users to a new level of reality for entertainment, education, and ultimately enlightenment. But when he sells his idea to the "big business" owners, he soon realizes that they're only interested in exploiting his creation. He abandons his physical body, diving completely into the DreamNet; there he must fight to tear down this web even if it means he must go down with it. This is a heartfelt story grounded in the cyberpunk tradition that explores new areas of storytelling.
