Orphan. Human guinea pig. Bodyhacker. Future addict. Corporate asset.
Bodyhacker and tech-addict Aleph Null is searching for Laurelwood, a town that offers to sell you the future. Laurelwood, as it happens, has been waiting for Aleph. Because the two are tied together in ways neither can understand alone.
Aleph Null is a lot of things: An orphan, a human guinea pig undergoing medical tests for cash, a bodyhacker, a hardcore future junkie, and a corporate asset. But now, Aleph is on the run from their old life, in search of a mythical, Midwestern town named Laurelwood—where they’re test-marketing the future with tech that can’t possibly exist yet, and won’t for decades.
