Synopsis

A frighteningly persuasive, high-tech fable set in a dystopian near-future.

In the near future, Kendra, an art-school dropout, Lerato, an ambitious AIDS baby, Tendek , a hot-headed activist, and Toby, a roguish blogger, live in a world where your online identity is at least as important as your physical one. Getting disconnected is a punishment worse than imprisonment. But someone's got to stand up to government inc., whatever the cost.
