In Toivo, connection is a necessity. Nearly everyone is Plugged-fitted with a neural Piece behind the ear that streams emotions, regulates behaviour, and reports every impulse to the corporations that govern the city. With a Piece, you are safe, predictable, and easily controlled. Without one, you are an unknown variable-and therefore a threat.
Tycho is one of the last Basics, people who refuse implantation and cling to privacy in a world that has outlawed it in all but name. Shut out from digital currency and state services, Tycho ekes out an existence in the crumbling districts outside the glossy corporate core.
But an easier life awaits: HopeStreet. A total immersion virtual reality game that seems to have attracted the whole population. HopeStreet is a utopia where everyone can live their dreams!
Rebellious to the end, only Tycho can see that the game is slowly killing people and the city with it. He is determined to take on the tech giants.
Unfortunately, the only weapon he has is his ability to be the most annoying person in the whole of Toivo.
