Otherland is a science fiction tetralogy by American writer Tad Williams, published between 1996 and 2001. The story is set on Earth near the end of the 21st century, probably between 2082 and 2089, in a world where technology has advanced somewhat beyond the present. The most notable advancement is the widespread availability of full-immersion virtual reality installations, which allow people from all walks of life to access an online world, called simply the Net. Tad Williams weaves an intricate plot spanning four thick volumes, and creates a picture of a future society where virtual worlds are fully integrated into everyday life.
His proposed ability to immerse oneself fully in a simulation gives him a great deal of artistic freedom, and the story winds through alternate interpretations of many classical literary works such as Through the Looking-Glass, The Odyssey and The Iliad, The War of the Worlds, Gormenghast, and The Wizard of Oz, which are available as entertainment simulations within the series. Orlando Gardiner, one of the main characters in the books, spent most of his teenage years in this world's equivalent to MMORPGs based upon J. R. R. Tolkien's fiction. The overall series's events also bear a strong resemblance to The Lord of the Rings.
The series is known for being ahead of its time. Nearly 30 years after the first books' release, the themes and technical elements of William's work have become more and more accurate.
Shipping to U.S. addresses will by Media Mail (upgrade to Priority Mail available upon request and payment of extra cost). I'm mailing from the East Coast and Media Mail usually takes from 5 to 10 days to the West Coast but can occasionally take longer. Alaska and Hawaii longer still. Please take that into consideration. I no longer ship internationally - rates are too high to make it practical. You must have a U.S. addressI can mail to.
