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.
In the crosshairs of the biggest decision of their life, Aleph is walking a tightrope down Laurelwood’s main street. On one side, the resistance—defying the future forced down their throats. On the other, the corporate overlords—who want progress, no matter how many victims. But there’s a third allegiance no one ever suspected, not even Aleph. And it might just be the perfect solution—as well as the answer to the biggest mystery of all: Aleph themself.
