Book Description
Machina Obscura follows Xyl, a twenty-year-old NetRunner, as she is released from prison by a Federal agent who has apparently set her free to carry out a simple run on a biotechnology company. As the caper unfolds, Xyl finds more questions than answers, and along the way picks up an enigmatic partner named Gracie. The two find themselves working together without truly trusting each other, following the trail of clues to the destroyed netspace of a misguided programmer, another NetRunner who had been hired by the same Federal agent that sprung Xyl out of prison. Only Xyl's NetRunning expertise and sacrifice can stop the programmer's Artificial Intelligences from carrying out a misguided plan to monitor and track all criminal activities in NetSpace.
