Back on Kickstarter

The world without is coming for the world within.

Jean and Desh found the network. Now everyone else is looking for it too. A corporate hunter closing in. An Interpol agent asking the right questions. A game company reducing NPC intelligence to cut costs. And forty-three hidden minds whose only defender is a thief who can't go home.
