Thirty years from now the US is in the grips of an economic crisis. A cold war brews between the Augmented, who have integrated technology into their bodies, and the Authentic, who have not. This tension erupts into violence when the world's most famous anti-tech crusader, Clay Campbell, dies under suspicious circumstances and is resurrected with illegal neural technology. Rejected by his family, hunted by the government, and unable to control his terrifying new powers, Clay must seek help from the man he hates most - Kita Sovee - the mysterious leader of the hi-tech resistance movement known as Neon Future.
