«Todo es ciencia ficción hasta que alguien lo convierte en ciencia real». Para los millones de usuarios que se conectan en busca de adrenalina o por la euforia de experimentar un nuevo estilo de vida, Warcross es más que un juego; es una revolución. Emika Chen trabaja como cazarrecompensas rastreando a los jugadores que vulneran la ley. Y se trata de un mundo competitivo, por lo que un día asume un desafío muy arriesgado: hackear la partida inaugural de los campeonatos mundiales. Convencida de que van a detenerla, Emika se sorprende cuando en su lugar recibe una llamada del hermético creador de Warcross con una oferta irresistible: introducirla en la próxima edición del torneo para investigar un fallo de seguridad. En Tokio le esperan la fama y la fortuna. Y el juego le ofrece una partida sin consecuencias... ¿Verdad?

"They believe that objects have souls. The more love you out into one, the more beautiful it becomes."

Haven't we all been plugged in for years now, completely addicted to this world beyond reality?

I look away, heartsick. Once upon a time they too were kids, maybe had families who loved them. What had brought them to this point? What would I look like, in their place?

They lunge at you because they see a vulnerable body. Or different skin color. Or a difficult name. Or a girl.

So I hit. I hit fast and hard and furious. I hit with nothing but language whispered between sockets and wire, the language that can bring people to their knees.
