Michael a survécu de justesse. Mais c’était la seule façon de trouver le cyber-terroriste Kaine, et de sécuriser le Sommeil. La vérité à propos de Kaine est plus complexe que prévu et plus terrifiante encore : il est une Tangente, un programme informatique doué de sens. L’achèvement du Sentier par Michael était la première étape pour lui permettre d’accomplir son projet diabolique : coloniser tous les hommes en remplaçant leur esprit humain par un esprit virtuel ! Et la prise de contrôle a déjà commencé… Michael parviendra-t-il une fois encore à ralentir cette machination infernale ?
Afficher en entierMichael is a gamer. And like most gamers, he almost spends more time on the VirtNet than in the actual world. The VirtNet offers total mind and body immersion, and it’s addictive. Thanks to technology, anyone with enough money can experience fantasy worlds, risk their life without the chance of death, or just hang around with Virt-friends. And the more hacking skills you have, the more fun. Why bother following the rules when most of them are dumb, anyway?
But some rules were made for a reason. Some technology is too dangerous to fool with. And recent reports claim that one gamer is going beyond what any gamer has done before: he’s holding players hostage inside the VirtNet. The effects are horrific — the hostages have all been declared brain-dead. Yet the gamer’s motives are a mystery.
The government knows that to catch a hacker, you need a hacker. And they’ve been watching Michael. They want him on their team. But the risk is enormous. If he accepts their challenge, Michael will need to go off the VirtNet grid. There are back alleys and corners in the system human eyes have never seen and predators he can’t even fathom — and there’s the possibility that the line between game and reality will be blurred forever.
