Overview

A vigilante hacker and a young politician must risk everything to destroy a chilling new advancement in artificial intelligence in this action-packed science fiction thriller about the blurry boundary between human and machine. Decades ago, the Cybercrash destroyed the internet, and almost destroyed the nation. From the ashes rose OverNet, a new realm of cybersecurity created by tech genius Dr. Andrew Norman. But gamer Jason Cromartie witnesses a brutal side to Norman’s system when his twin sister becomes a casualty of its algorithmic choices. Now Jason will do anything to bring down the man he holds responsible, even become a “phreaker” working for a dangerous hacker ring via Sprite, his secretive handler. For Chloe Dunne-Carr, an ambitious politician who has reaped only the benefits of OverNet despite being one of Norman’s staunchest opponents, the algorithm’s growing control means raising her daughter in a world that’s losing touch with its humanity. When Norman unveils the Final System, a revolutionary Artificial General Intelligence set to impose a new world order, Jason and Chloe find themselves pawns in Norman’s twisted game of man versus technology. Now, may the best player win.
