Unreal Cindy Gunderson

Two communities clamor for societal control. But for one Real and one Unreal, the battle is intensely personal.




In Channel's world, augmented reality has transformed the world from drab to gorgeously stunning. After the devastating Campi eruption, people flocked to new Unreal Communities offering retinal implants to modify their visual experience into something beautiful again. Living in Paradise 3 Community, Channel's only goal is to become a World Builder and improve the augmented reality code for everyone living there. Her opportunities seem endless until new implant technology is announced - this time with the ability to augment all the senses. With dashed dreams and her skills rendered virtually useless, Channel is left with none of her prior options...but has one idyllic opportunity.




Mila is Real. Living with her parents who fought to remain independent from the Communities, her world is the antithesis of privileged. With a dwindling peer group, a lack of resources, and seemingly no hope for her future, she jumps at the chance to travel with her brother Alek in search of other free Real societies. Though they have outdated information and virtually zero knowledge of what could lie ahead, Alek and Mila tear themselves from the only home they've ever known under cover of night.




When Mila and Channel's paths collide, they become torn between the worlds they thought they knew and a brazen reality they could never have imagined. Will they risk it all to understand what it truly means to be Real?




Unreal is the first book in the riveting Unreal series. If you like mind-bending storylines, strong female characters, and clean romance, you'll adore Cindy Gunderson's page-turning psychological saga.
