What if immersive gaming holds the key to interstellar travel?
Earth is preparing to launch its first interstellar colony ship, but volunteers for a ten year one-way trip in isolation, most of it to be spent in virtual reality pods, are few and far between. For most the choice is to remain in a dystopian society where the work is done by robots and the thinking by computers.
Game Ship is a mashup of hard SciFi, gamelit, and a dystopian future.
