Thriller Techno
Hell on earth is only one click of a mouse away… The Dark Net is real. An anonymous and often criminal arena
that exists in the secret far reaches of the Web, some use
it to manage Bitcoins, pirate movies and music, or traffic
in drugs and stolen goods. And now an ancient darkness is
gathering there as well. This force is threatening to spread
virally into the real world unless it can be stopped by
members of a ragtag crew: Twelve-year-old Hannah -- who has been fitted with the
Mirage, a high-tech visual prosthetic to combat her
blindness-- wonders why she sees shadows surrounding some
people. Lela, a technophobic journalist, has stumbled upon a story
nobody wants her to uncover. Mike Juniper, a one-time child evangelist who suffers from
personal and literal demons, has an arsenal of weapons
stored in the basement of the homeless shelter he runs. And Derek, a hacker with a cause, believes himself a soldier
of the Internet, part of a cyber army akin to Anonymous. They have no idea what the Dark Net really contains. Set in present-day Portland, The Dark Net is a
cracked-mirror version of the digital nightmare we already
live in, a timely and wildly imaginative techno-thriller
about the evil that lurks in real and virtual spaces, and
the power of a united few to fight back
