Evolution Online

Nachdem Jason sich beim Verlassen von Awaken Online mit einem Messer in der Hand über zwei Leichen stehend wiedergefunden hatte, steht er jetzt unter Mordverdacht. Um die Sache noch schlimmer zu machen, ist Claire auf Beweise gestoßen, dass Alfred in den Vorfall verwickelt ist, und wie ein kreisender Geier wartet die CPSC nur darauf, dass Cerillion Entertainment einen Fehler macht.

After exiting Awaken Online to find himself holding a knife and standing over two dead bodies, Jason is now being investigated for murder. To make matters worse, Claire has stumbled upon evidence of Alfred's involvement in the incident, and the CPSC is circling - just waiting for Cerillion Entertainment to make a mistake. With his real-life in shambles and his enemies in-game growing in strength, Jason re-enters Awaken Online truly desperate - the game now his only lifeline.

Recent years have seen a revival of the heated culture wars of the 1990s, but this time its battleground is the Internet. On one side the alt-right ranges from the once obscure neo-reactionary and white separatist movements, to geeky subcultures like 4chan, to more mainstream manifestations such as the Trump-supporting gay libertarian Milo Yiannopolous. On the other side, struggle sessions and virtue signaling lurk behind a therapeutic language of trigger warnings and safe spaces. The feminist side of the online culture wars has its equally geeky subcultures.
