    Summary

    Near-future London riven by climate change, plague riots and vast social inequality driven by surveillance capitalist algorithms depends on The Grid, a green energy system that enables the city to survive twice-daily tidal deluges since the Thames Barrier failed.

    During a routine monitoring exercise, an eccentric team of data scientists and white-hat hackers record a mysterious electronic fungus attacking users before disappearing into The Grid's infrastructure. Soon, the distinctive algorithmic data signature of the fungus begins to appear all over the internet: trading turbulence in global financial markets; anonymous cyberattacks in Russia's ongoing proxy wars; and the micropayment trails of a dodgy diet app called Eat Light.

    Forensics implicate two rival billionaires: Maverick electric car tycoon Billy Barbel, infamous for supporting the 'blood and soil' eco-terrorists eMerge, and his ex-business partner, Eris Bianjie, the elusive Chinese super-programmer behind The Grid’s technology. After years of NDA-enforced silence, she appears to be active again, releasing clever Grid hacks on CodeHub.

    IPRA has only one week to stop the fungus - or is the fungus trying to warn them of something worse to come?

    Summary

    “Though you, my dearest companion, are a master of all manner of witchery business, unfortunately you have not yet learned to breathe while lying face down in a pond," Jaskier said. He shoved Geralt off his shoulder onto a tree stump like a sack of flour. “Strip.”
