Summary
In a timeline where Jackie Welles is alive and retired, Valerie "V" Wheeler is fighting a different kind of war: keeping her family’s crumbling farmhouse in Vermont from foreclosure.
V is an anomaly—an artist who uses charcoal and paper in a world of holograms and code. When her raw talent earns her a scholarship to a prestigious Boston academy, she accepts a neural implant to save her failing hands, believing it’s her ticket to a better life. instead, it puts her directly in the crosshairs of Arasaka.
Recruited for a high-security restoration project, V uncovers a horrifying secret buried in the corporate mainframe: the corrupted data of Judy Alvarez, a child sacrificed for a failed experiment.
Now, V must lead a double life. By day, she is Arasaka’s golden child. By night, she is a vessel for the dead. With the help of her hacker girlfriend Emily—a "glitch" in the system—V must turn her own mind into a smuggling drive to expose the truth. But when the corporate war follows her back to the quiet hills of Vermont, V realizes that the only way to save her future is to burn down the past.
Art becomes a weapon. Memories become data. And the Mox never run
