I just finished reading Tricia Sullivans excellent Maul. A twisted piece that takes place in a not so distant future where males aren't needed anymore and most of the have been wiped out by a deadly virus. However - virus resistant examples are emerging - one of them is using a kind of game - the maul to visualize and understand the battle inside his body. This may be the reason for very strange things happening in the mall - the parallell story of the book. At first it is not obvious but the interrelation between the virus battling male and the mall gets more and more intricate and obvious the longer into the book one gets.
