The God Game by Danny Tobey

At a high school in Austin a group of teens who call themselves "the Vindicators" begin to join in an online game with an A.I. who calls themselves God. Promising great riches and rewards but also severe punishment for losing the group think it is a harmless game until they find themselves locked into a very powerful and deadly game with some frightening repercussions. GOD has control over all their devices, virtual reality glasses, social media and it seems over any online systems. The worst part is that the game is only over when GOD says it is over. This scary A.I. plays with our emotions and greatest fears preying on adrenaline-seeking teens. Take a group of super stressed out, highly driven teens and give them an opportunity to exert control on their environment then sit back and wait for the chaos to ensue and you have THE GOD GAME. Intense thriller/science fiction that hits a little too close to reality to make you comfortable. This will appeal to teens and adults who enjoy borderline futuristic, creepy thrillers that make you think.
