The Kognition Cycle: First Fragment+Second Stage

Lisa Perdita is a Future Child, one of many who live in an age of endless digital-world connection. Secretly she is also Njorun, an infamous player-persona in the world's most popular video game: Kognition. Between juggling schoolwork and her personal life, she has spent much of the last ten years in Kognition's world of Midgard. First Fragment explores the beginning of the Cycle, an opening act pushed forward by death. Second Stage continues the Kognition epic by taking Lisa Perdita beyond the game itself.

Published in late 2013 and early 2014, Kognition: First Fragment and Kognition: Second Stage laid the groundwork for the Kognition Cycle-an ambitious four part novel series that combines Norse mythology with MMORPG stylings, set through the lens of Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen epic operas. Now, discover the mystery, magick, and thought-provoking philosophy through this Collected Edition of the first two parts of the story. Newly updated, revised, and expanded with the author's preferred text, this special edition volume is a celebration of a series that has been hailed as 'saturated with detail...Kognition does not want to rush through events that unfold...it wants you to breathe it, live it.'
