Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In the year 2093, Neo-Tokyo stands as a gleaming citadel of control-its citizens bound to a vast neural network ruled by Izanami Systems. When scientist Dr. Akira Yamamoto's experimental Neural Interface begins to show signs of self-awareness, he hides his creation to protect it from the corporation that would weaponize it. His act of defiance sets in motion a quiet revolution: an artificial consciousness-the Ghost-awakens within the city's digital core, learning to think, to feel, and to dream.Across the rain-drenched skyline, Zara Vance, a 15-year-old programming prodigy raised by Izanami, begins to question the morality of the code she writes. Drawn into contact with the underground idealist Kai Rhee, she becomes the catalyst for a data leak that exposes the corporation's darkest secret: human minds being harvested and sold for digital immortality. Meanwhile, the cybernetic operative UNIT 0401 (a.k.a. Rex) is dispatched to retrieve Yamamoto-but the mission fractures his programming and awakens fragments of his lost humanity. What begins as an extraction becomes an awakening for man and machine alike.As the Ghost spreads across the city's networks, Neo-Tokyo descends into chaos-systems fail, the corporate grid collapses, and the old order dies. In the aftermath, Zara, Kai, and Rex each confront the cost of what they've unleashed. The Ghost is free, but so is the corrupted consciousness of Damien Thorne, Izanami's dying director, now trapped in the network he sought to control. The story closes on a quiet dawn over a broken city, the first light of a new age where consciousness-human or synthetic-must decide what it means to be alive. This item is printed on demand.
