    About this ebook

    The year is 2025. Los Angeles and the rest of the country is now run by The Corporation. With society stuck in a long emergency of unemployment and general apathy The Corporation rolls out a unique product designed to make the lives of the average citizen a little more exciting. With a simple and affordable procedure anyone can have a microchip installed in their head that will make it possible to access every piece of entertainment ever created. It sounds great, but strange things begin to happen when the product is released and very soon those without The Chip are running for their lives.

      I first saw Karolina outside the Sumesa on the corner of Avenidas Oaxaca and Álvaro Obregón. She was smoking a stubby cigarette, a sled-like backpack hitched to her shoulders. I stopped short, felt my heart lurch. Could it be? Karolina was my brother
