Description
John and Slack are just two normal kids with a love for computers. But their life is turned upside down when an innocuous hacking prank sends them to a center for extraordinarily gifted computer whiz kids. There, they learn the terrifying truth: they died and have been brought back to life with the help of artificial intelligence. Not only does this give them extraordinary abilities… it also makes them hot property.
A group of teen hackers have been secretly implanted with artificial intelligence, giving them extraordinary abilities. A legendary tech guru seeks total control over their bodies and minds, leading to a cat-and-mouse chase across all corners of the globe. As humans look toward a future filled with artificial intelligence, this thrill-filled adventure story couldn’t be more relevant. With the likes of Homo Deus and Black Mirror giving the adult market an ominous portent of the world to come, the Ghost Network seeks to put a more playful spin on the future mankind faces. Imagine Mary Shelley writing a James Bond novel for kids!
