1. Are there any aesthetics or extra material? Yes, you may find an aesthetics page and a detailed structure of the Core (floor by floor) at the end of this book. 😊
2. This is fiction, obviously, which means that no living digital beings exist in your browser *sigh*, which makes me sad 'cos I LOVE these guys. ❤️ My sources of inspiration are Tron Uprising and Reboot.
3. I'm writing in British English. Take this in mind, please. 😊
4. About the genre... I've got a problem. I've been told this book IS and ISN'T Sci-Fi at the same time. So, I made some research to find a way out of this dilemma.
According to the Wattpad's Sci-Fi Ambassadors' profile, in their book about how to write Sci-Fi:

I write about digital beings living inside our PCs, tablets, and phones as if they were personifications of humans in a digital world. Does that count as "follow the same rules as ours"? These beings exist here, in this work of fiction, but I don't think they CAN in real life... or do they exist and we simply don't know about it? 🤯
Tron and Reboot have been labelled as Sci-Fi. That is why I still consider this story to be Sci-Fi.
In any case, I've made a decision: THIS STORY IS -what I've decided to call- "IT FICTION", the amazing child of Sci-Fi and Fantasy after getting drunk and having a one-night stand! LOL 😉Digital entities with human emotions in a digital world, a brand new one full of possibilities to explore!
Join me in this new adventure! 😉❤️

*Trigger warning:
This story contains VIOLENCE, SWEARING, MURDER ATTEMPTS, MURDER, AND THEFT. I don't do chapter warnings. THIS is the only warning you're gonna get.
· Any resemblance to real people, fictional characters, places, or objects, among others is a pure coincidence. However, pursuing inspiration while reading other works is what keeps fiction evolving, I believe.
📚 I write for fun, not for recognition. 📚
