Firebreak

"There’ve been a few novels about streamers playing an immersive massively multiplayer online game in the ruins of a corporate dystopia, but none of them is as tense, brutal and furious as Firebreak. Mega-corporations Stellaxis and Greenleaf have carved up the former United States between them. One controls water; the other controls agriculture. Caught between their perpetual war are Mal and Jessa, a pair of streamers struggling to make ends meet when a chance in-game encounter catapults them into the center of a conspiracy that blurs the boundaries between games and reality. A fight song in praise of fierce friendship."
