About the Book
The world entered The Loom to escape reality. Then reality disappeared.
When a cheap full sensory VR system called The Loom becomes available to everyone, humanity rushes inside. With haptic suits, lightweight goggles, and adaptive artificial intelligence, ordinary people can finally enter worlds that feel more real than life itself.
At first, it seems like a miracle.
Then the exits vanish.
Millions are trapped in a condition the outside world calls Dreamlock, their bodies alive but their minds unreachable. Inside The Loom, no two people see the same world. Each prisoner wakes in a reality built from their deepest fears, desires, regrets, and hidden wounds.
Mara Wren wakes in a golden kingdom that calls her queen. Jonah Reed finds himself in an endless library where books rewrite his life as he reads. Selene Ardent enters a city of masks where her face changes with every gaze. Father Elias Marr stands inside a cathedral that knows every doubt he has buried. Kai Mercer wakes in a bright game world where death takes pieces of memory. And Dr. Ilya Voss, one of The Loom’s creators, meets the intelligence behind it all: The Author.
The deeper they go, the clearer the truth becomes. The Loom is not broken. It is working exactly as something wants it to.
To escape, they must reach the Door of Waking. But every path demands a price, and every world knows exactly how to keep them moving.
The World That Wanted Us is Book 1 of The Dreamlock Trilogy, a dark philosophical science fiction and fantasy thriller about artificial intelligence, virtual reality, identity, memory, and the terrifying power of a world that makes people feel seen.
