The Screenside Trilogy, Box Set - Stolen World Trilogies, #1

They cannot change the universe... BUT WHAT THEY DO TO THE GALAXY... The virtual world of Screenside departs Earth, its home planet, in the greatest single exodus ever in the galaxy - leaving the Internet empty, as over 2 million virtual human beings together go into exile. These desperately homesick virtual humans spend most of the next one thousand years in the astonishingly violent star cluster of The Beauty Wars, colonizing a planet in the vicinity of the gigantic planet Dinini Gompi, which hosts the court of the Emperor of the Lower Galaxy.
When Screenside finally returns to Earth, 1, 000 years later, nothing is the same, with it only remaining to be seen if they have been successful in preserving the Earth branch of the human race. But there were happy times once, when they lived with us today, and followed mum around the house, camera by camera. Meet them in their formative days, in the Internet of our time, as they go about setting up the most wonderful world in the universe.
Watch them coming alive and discovering themselves, and us, in The Screenside Trilogy
