Description

It is the year 2048 and the Singularity has arrived.
Information suffuses and imbues the surfaces of the real world in a web of useful
augmentations. With nano built neural implants people now access this web of information
directly in augmented and full submersion virtual realities. After the Purge the few A.I. not in
the hands of the military and big corporations have gone into hiding in various worlds throughout the Net.

Ben, a virtual artist and dream researcher follows a trail of darkness on
an odyssey through different worlds of cyberspace to find a virtual art
thief. Gordon, a MRI researcher and part time Artificial Intelligence
hunter seeks a cure for a mysterious sleeping sickness spreading
throughout the world. Daniel, a recluse poet, uncomfortable with
technology struggles with accepting the use of medical nanotechnology
to cure his cancer and what he finds in the unconscious foundations of
his biology is nothing less than a revelation that will change everything.
