About the Book
A young gamer risks his life to gain the forbidden knowledge that might save himself and his friends from the desolation that otherwise awaits them, where the future lies.
Book Synopsis
What would you do if you found out one day that the Artificial Intelligence that ran everything was lazy, dishonest, and not quite as bright as it seemed? That there might be a way to outwit the Network, in spite of its oppression, and maybe to find love, and something like a future, in the ruins of a desolate world? If you didn't die trying, that is?
