Author Description

After escaping her village to discover a wondrous nanobot-fueled city, Ada is finding life in the Grid stifling, her every move tracked by the chip implant in her arm. The city's artificial people clamor for details of her kidnapping by Identity Thieves, and obsess over the village life she left behind, with villagers still unaware of the glittering city behind the mountains. All Ada wants is to hide from everyone, even Tovi. But when the Thieves go missing, the city needs her help. Could they be heading to her village, to hunt the hundreds of unchipped villagers just waiting to be taken? Or perhaps to the far-off city of Endurance, where Ada's story has inspired a revolution? Choices must be made, and Ada is the only one who can decide. Her village believes it's the last place left on Earth. Can she handle facing them again, with Tovi at her side? Can they handle the news she must bring of cities and androids, nanobots and thieves, to warn them of the dangers coming their way?
