"New Liberty City, 2134. Two corporations have replaced the United States, splitting the country's remaining forty-five states between them: Stellaxis Innovations and Greenleaf. There are nine supercities within the continental US, and New Liberty City is the only amalgamated city shared between the two megacorps, and thus in a perpetual state of civil war as the feeds broadcast the atrocities committed by each side. Mallory streams Stellaxis's wargame SecOps on BestLife, spending more time jacked in than in her miserable reality. When a chance encounter with one of the game's rare supersoldiers leads to a side job for Mal, her sudden burst in online fame rivals a deepening fear of what she is uncovering about BestLife's developer and puts her in the kind of danger she's experienced only through her avatar." --page [4] of cover
