Never fear! YA dystopic science fiction is alive and well.
Elusion by Cheryl Klam and Claudia Gabel
From the publisher:
The mind-blowing beginning of a futuristic series about the seductive nature of a perfect virtual world and how far one girl will go to uncover the truth behind the illusions.
A new technology is sweeping the country. To enter Elusion®, you need an app, a visor, and a wristband and you'll be virtually transported to an exotic destination where adventure comes without the complications or consequences of real life. When there are accusations that Elusion is addictive and dangerous, Regan is determined to defend it and is pulled into incredible new worlds to discover deeply buried truths and to make the ultimate choice between love and loyalty. . .
Full of thrilling mystery, romance, and intriguing technology, this Inception-inspired thriller is perfect for fans of dystopian and sci-fi novels such as Uglies by Scott Westerfeld, Matched by Ally Condie, and Partials by Dan Wells.

When I saw this advertised as being like Inception, I thought to myself: ooh, recursive! cool! must read! But as I read more about it, it seems like it's Inception-like in the sense of world-hopping, not so much in the sense of world-nesting. D'you know?
