Some security consulting here, some memory theft there, and in between, trying to subvert the AI-controlled society. The problem for both of them is that the memory contained a secret. One that the forces who run society cannot allow to be revealed. Together, the unlikely duo team up-along with Auggie, the cat-on an odyssey around the world and beyond to discover the truth of who nuked Silicon Valley and why.

Reviews

""Donoghue's deep empathetic imagination for both humans and AIs makes the work feel like far more than the sum of its parts. Other novels have played in this high-tech sandbox, to be sure, but few have done so in a way that makes a reader think and care for both people and artificial entities in such strong and equal measure. An exciting and complex thriller that offers a rumination on humanity in an age of technological domination."" -- Kirkus Reviews ""Tightly paced, packed with intrigue and sprinkled with humour. Blade Runner meets Memento in the best sci-fi novel I've read this year!"" - Edward Nile, author of The Ironshield Chronicles ""Heartbreaking, hopeful, and haunting. A must-read for fans of thoughtful sci-fi."" - Ilima Loomis, award-winning author of Eclipse Chaser
