In the year 2058, nanotech, IV modems and DNA-targeted data transmissions have blurred the boundaries between organic and machine. When Rebel, a “wetware super-hack,” finds her husband Dayze murdered, victim of a new kind of virus, she vows to avenge his death. Leaving the remote mountain cabin where the two had “retired” from the world years earlier, Reb dives back into the technological life where she encounters a rogue program that seems to incorporate Dayze’s soul. At first frightened, she runs right into the arms of Stryck, another wetware hack whose technological enhancements perfectly complement her own. Comingling sex, blood, and technology with Stryck, Rebel tries to maneuver her way through a maze of power mongers, rogue programs, and Borns—children with the ability to jack into the net without technological enhancement—all on a collision course for world domination and the key to immortality.
