When it was first introduced, the LINK was hailed as the greatest advance in history for the communication and entertainment industries. Nano robots - nanobots - painlessly injected into the thin layer between the scalp and the skull, form a cranial network that links the brain's metacortex to the Internet. No hardware is needed; the computer, the phone, movies and hundreds of thousands of apps are available on demand inside your head The increased threat of terrorism leads the government to pass the Mandatory Link Law. They take over the net and use it to monitor every citizen. NIK SMITH is one of a group of intellectuals that refuse the link and he manages to elude the police for years. But he makes a wrong turn and gets caught in a police round up hunting for Ediots; the unlinked. When he regains consciousness, in a jail cell, he discovers he's lost something; his memories. The Authorities want to know how Nik avoided being linked. Is he a member of the anti-link terrorist organization, C.I.A.L.? Nik wants to know the same things.
