In 2029 the newspapers are vanishing, writers and politicians can't write without AI, and blackouts shut down entire grids. In response, radical groups call for a full halt to advanced computing.
A sidelined journalist and a data analyst are on a hunt for anomalies behind the protests. They uncover a synchronization pattern no one wants exposed. As their digital and physical lives are systematically erased, they must figure out who or what is behind the unrest.
A standalone book about computers, internet and where it might take our lives.
In this book, the action takes place in Europe, with a few scenes in Brazil and one in India. Portuguese readers will find familiar places in Lisbon; some may recognize the Polish vignette and other locations.
But the book is not about place. It is about us – about the future, our reliance on technology, and whether technology relies on us.
