"I thought I was going mad, but I’m afraid that what I see is real."
"And what is it? What do you see?"
"I see data."
Adam sees data. He doesn't know how but he sees the invisible world around us, sees it all, a great seething, ringing, chaos.
We are all now digital natives. We are surrounded by and defined by electronic data. We carry about with us devices that store every last detail of our lives, tethered to the sky by cell phone reception, bouncing between shells of wifi. Every movement, every purchase, every photo, every thought available to be analysed and atomised, to catalogued, categorised, bought and sold.
This is what Adam sees, he sees all our open secrets and hidden truths, and the knowledge is power and madness combined.
And this knowledge makes him a dangerous man. Dangerous to Diane Pasteur, the head of the secretive, inescapable Kerberos Security. Dangerous to the 404s, an anarchist army of revolutionary hackers. Dangerous, most of all, to Nico Wolf, a desperate, ruthless killer.
Wanted by the police, and with all these pitted against him, it might only be his strange, awful power that can save Adam. That can save us all.
