SYNOPSIS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Real Life is the story of a teen-aged computer prodigy who longs for connection in an age of technology and efficiency. With his final exam approaching, Max is on track for a promising future in the technological \u201cCubes\u201d of Class Two, until a cryptic message from his mother in the work camps of Class Three awakens something within him. With the help of his friends, Max embarks on a journey to the depths of the super-illegal Dark Web, the gleaming heights of Class One, the front lines of an uprising in the woods, and to lost parts of himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
