Brave New World. A future that is already on the threshold. Portents are everywhere: in news releases, the World Wide Web, in the very air filled with electrons and smog. Powerful corporations are waging an invisible, secret war for the possession of technology and brilliant minds. Rebellious AIs strive to gain freedom. The Yakuza is flooding Tokyo with blood. Neon light, burning chrome, oceans of information. Computer cowboys risk their lives for scraps of binary code. A war in which everyone is against everyone. Only a real soldier can survive in it. He doesn't wear a uniform, but he's used to fighting. And - to receive payment so that bloody secret battles flare up again and again.
