Loop

Loop by Koji Suzuki is the third novel in the Ring series, blending elements of science fiction, horror, and psychological suspense. The story follows Kaoru Futami, a young medical student whose father is dying from a mysterious illness linked to an experimental virtual reality project known as the "Loop."

As Kaoru investigates the origins of the Loop, he discovers a sinister truth: the virtual world created by scientists has evolved beyond their control. Within this digital universe lies the root of the deadly Ring Virus—a force that transcends the boundaries of reality and threatens humanity’s very existence.

With mind-bending revelations about life, death, and the nature of reality, Loop takes readers on a chilling journey where science and horror collide. Suzuki masterfully expands the Ring mythos, transforming the original supernatural horror story into a deeply philosophical and scientifically complex thriller that challenges the limits of human understanding.
