Nia è una hacker di grande talento, ma è molto sola. Vive lontana dal mondo, con la sola compagnia di un padre enigmatico e geniale. L’unico modo che ha per comunicare con l’esterno sono i suoi profili social, ma l’amicizia virtuale di un milione di sconosciuti non riesce a riempire il vuoto che la circonda. Cameron ha un sogno: diventare famoso su YouTube. Mentre si trova sulle sponde del misterioso Lago Erie per registrare il video che spera possa regalargli la notorietà, un temporale che sembra sfidare le leggi della fisica gli fa perdere i sensi. Al risveglio, Cameron non è più lo stesso, ha acquisito un nuovo e sorprendente talento cibercinetico: la capacità di comandare computer e dispositivi elettronici con la mente. Nia e Cameron sono diversissimi eppure complementari. Entrambi dotati di straordinarie capacità, quando si incontrano online capiscono che è finito il tempo della solitudine: è il momento di unirsi e sfruttare i loro poteri per lottare contro un’oscura e misteriosa organizzazione dalle risorse illimitate che gestisce il mondo dell’informazione da dietro le quinte. Ma il male non ha un solo volto… e, mentre i loro poteri si evolvono, i due impareranno a loro spese che non si possono fidare nemmeno di quelli che gli sono più vicini. Ambientato nell’universo Alliances, creato assieme a Luke Lieberman e Ryan Silbert e scritto con Kat Rosenfield, finalista al premio Edgar, Stan Lee ci offre un romanzo denso di avventure adrenaliniche e vertiginose ed esuberanti invenzioni, le stesse che lo hanno affermato come mente creativa dello spettacolare universo Marvel.
