A world where social rank rules and your status sets
your inevitable course in life - sound familiar? Just imagine if it was all
controlled by an app! In Averee's world, the usual trials of making your way
into adulthood come with the added stress of Ranked, a ubiquitous and
all-knowing tech innovation that awards you points for socially acceptable
behavior and takes them away when you don't conform. It seems fun enough at
first, but it becomes much more than a game when Averee's rank suddenly drops
overnight. Now she's getting hassled at school, blocked from her favorite
restaurants, and her mom is out of a job.
Luckily for our hero, she has Zoe - a
bottom-ranked BFF - whose open disdain for all things Ranked makes her the
perfect accomplice on what's about to be the heist of the century: they're
staging a raid on the app's corporate HQ to set things right and its
spokesperson, the virtual popstar Pretty Kitty, is in their sights. With
Averee's crush Luke in tow, these friends are in way over their heads and
they're about to learn that the “right” they're fighting for may be
on a global scale.
AVEREE is one average
girl's mission through a world of near-future tech to take back control of her
life, in a fun philosophical adventure!
