Author Description

A world ruled by technology… Virtual Reality and Teleport Gateways are no longer fiction. Everything is controlled and monitored by your digital fingerprint. But what happens when that fingerprint is corrupted? A journalist, Blossom, soon finds out. Ejected from her usual online hangouts, she soon realises the world without technology is a disturbing one. Locked out from all her funds and travelling abilities, she is invisible to the world. Whilst investigating the cause of her ‘virtual death’, her only lead is to follow the cryptic clues of Akira Kato. Teaming up with Private Investigator, Rinzler, the two learn that all is not as it seems. Rinzler is convinced there is trouble in the Artificial Intelligence network. Is Rinzler a paranoid conspiracy theorist? Or are his suspicions legitimate? Either way, Blossom is helpless in her current state. But who can she trust?
