The world of the distant future did not produce flying cars, super-computers, or interplanetary flights. The only thing he gave to humanity was a neuro-terminal. A device capable of editing brain neurons. Edit the human personality itself - its inclinations, habits, preferences, everything that makes us individual. From this moment a new life began for the Earth. There are no more countries - people live in the city-states of Fujitsu, Sony, Apple. There is no more unorganized crime: the Mafia here is a respected and completely legal company. And, most importantly, there are no longer numerous problems associated with emotions and disagreements. After all, you can always buy a smile that is fashionable this season or the facial expressions of a movie star. You can reshape your personality using the achievements of the neuro-software market - get rid of unsatisfactory character traits, replace old habits with new ones, instill in yourself a sense of humor or a taste for good wine. After all, the human personality in this world is nothing more than a collection of neuro-modules, each of which stores a piece of someone else’s individuality developed by engineers. Behind the great many of these particles, not everyone remembers their real identity... Detective Solomon Five is on the trail of a mysterious neuro-hacker who hacks into other people's minds and steals pieces of their personality from people.
