The year is 2101. The world is dominated by a global government - and by a technological virus that infects humans and turns them into hyper-functional cyborgs that obey the will of the artificial intelligence KAMI. Originally, the technology was developed to enable nanocomputers to create super soldiers, but the experiment spun out of control.
Although people infected with the virus are currently being hunted down, locked up in restricted zones, or simply eliminated, KAMI continues to gain strength. The reader follows different people from various social classes as they fight against KAMI for the survival of mankind.
