SHOCK PAO is not just any Haunt—he’s the best. There isn’t a system that he can’t crack into, nothing he can’t steal for the right price. Outside the virtual world of the Slip, though, he’s a Fail—no degree, no job, no affiliations to protect him from angry ex-customers. Of which he has quite a few. So when his ex brings Shock a job, he accepts, little realizing that it will turn out to be his most impossible, illegal and insane assignment yet. Amiga works for Twist Calhoun, one of the toughest crime lords in the Gung, as a Cleaner—assassin. When Shock’s war comes to her, she doesn’t have a choice: it’s her job to bring him to Twist, dead or alive—or it’ll be her head in a bag in Twist’s vault.

Exploring the intriguing concept of artificial intelligence, this book delves into the inner workings of robots and their potential consciousness.

Through a blend of science fiction and thought-provoking scenarios, the narrative invites contemplation on the future of technology and its implications for humanity. The interplay between human and machine dreams forms a central theme, prompting deep reflection.
