Tate Anderson alternates between IT wizard and prison inmate in this fast-paced thriller about redemption, technology, and moral reckoning in an age when the line between human and machine intelligence is vanishing.
When a catastrophic cyberattack at AltoStratus, the world's leading cloud-computing company, cripples MegaZone's online shopping, the world believes it was a routine software glitch. Behind the scenes, AltoStratus knows better. Desperate for answers, they rehire Tate Anderson, the brilliant but disgraced cybersecurity expert they once cast aside.
Paired up with Kyra, his replacement and former boss's daughter, and armed with acerbic wit, a deep love for modern art, and a stubborn refusal to quit, Tate dives into an investigation that leads to a chilling discovery: When imbuing computers with the power to decide, adapt, and learn, human frailties also arise.
Nearly ten months later, after being charged with murder, Tate sits in a low-security prison, chronicling what happened over those three chaotic days in Seattle. The truth won't save him, but it needs to be written-before power, greed, and intelligent systems finish burying it.
What began as a hunt for state-sponsored malware unraveled into something far more sinister: the race to save the world.
