Fisher begins an electrifying, incomparable journey that leads him on a path away from hawking low-quality flowers to unravel the uncertainties that surround the world of technology. After being attacked by a Federal Security Logistics Agent, Fisher realizes he has been duped and enlists an extraordinary and varied group of friends and strangers to help him investigate the puzzle. A programmer, a fashion junkie, a biker group, and an intelligent computer program all must aid him in his search for the meaning behind the object. By interfacing with a unique network, one person will uncover the truth, ultimately accessing and exposing an alternative dimension to them all.

In this erotic technological thriller, Fisher and his friends embark on a journey of self-discovery and must discern whether a computer chip is just hardware or whether it possesses properties that could be construed as conscious and alive.
