Synopsis

Cameras at every turn, smart buildings that know all about you, virtual realities that overcome real ones. And instant access to all of it through a computer the size of a credit card. The year is 2040 and constant monitoring is the price you pay for being connected. But can you get away with murder in such a world? That is the problem facing data maven and control freak Aldo Weeks when a single lapse in judgment plunges him into unknown terrain. First a midnight tryst with an exotic redhead, then a murderous duet with a madman. As he tries to outwit the vast net of information, he encounters a strange puzzle box at the center of the whole affair, a box of chaos that might just hold the key to how complexity rules the universe. And how to solve the mystery of the crime he has committed.
