Virtually True Summary

CBSE Notes for Virtually True Summary - Chapter 6

The narrator is a young boy, who is traveling by train. His attention is attracted by a big woman, sitting opposite, reading a newspaper. The headline and the cover story was regarding a 14-year-old school boy named Sebastian Shultz, who awoke from a coma that the doctors feared would last forever. The story further elaborated that Sebastian had been injured in a motorway accident and did not regain consciousness. The mother of Sebastian hoped that their son would get out of coma, but only a miracle could save him. The narrator sees the boy’s photograph also and he is shocked to discover, it is the same Sebastian whom he had got to know. But the newspaper story stated that the boy had been in coma throughout. The narrator felt nervous and confused. He couldn’t figure out how could this have happened.

It all started a month back, when the narrator along with his Dad had brought the latest psycho-drive games with virtual reality, visor and glove. Some of these games didn’t appear new but the narrator was not bothered. He was thrilled with the latest technology and was getting impatient to start playing. The first game that he started was called Wild West. Please refer Virtually True Summary  for more revision notes.
