Warcross by Marie Lu
Publication Information: New York, NY: G. P. Putnam's Sons (an imprint of Penquin Random House), 2017
Summary: When a game called Warcross takes the world by storm, one girl hacks her way into its dangerous depths.
For millions who log in every day, Warcross isn't just a game ---it's a way of life. The obsession started ten years ago and its fan base now spans the globe, some eager to escape from reality and others hoping to make a profit. Struggling to make ends meet, teenage hacker Emika Chen works as a bounty hunter, tracking down Warcross players who bet on the game illegally. But the bounty-hunting world is a competitive one and survival has not been easy. To make some quick cash, Emika takes a risk and hacks into the opening game of the international Warcross Championships...only to accidently glitch herself into the action and become an overnight sensation.
