It’s 2065. Half the world’s population is made up of droids—droids with such sophisticated AI, they pass for humans. In an apocalyptic New York City, Chevy Rose is still grieving her parents’ deaths when her boyfriend Gage collapses unconscious. When his diagnosis confirms he suffered a Ransomware attack, Chevy must admit he is not human, but a droid. Chevy’s desperate journey to save Gage leads to shocking discoveries. A terrifying motive by Russian hackers is revealed as the computer virus spreads well beyond Gage’s operating system. If Chevy can’t reverse the damage before it infiltrates the world’s fragile healthcare infrastructure, a life-saving serum her late mother created will be at risk…and so will the lives of all surviving humans.
