More about the book
In 2015, Levi Vonk, a young anthropologist and journalist, moved to Mexico to work with migrants, challenging the conservative views of his Southern hometown. There, he met Axel Kirschner, a lifelong New Yorker from Guatemala, who was undocumented after being deported for a minor traffic violation. Axel was desperate to reunite with his children in Queens. Beneath the surface of his typical immigrant story, Levi discovered Axel's hidden talent: he was a hacker. This revelation set the two friends on an unexpected and perilous journey that neither had anticipated. Axel's skills provided him with an advantage in a system that marginalized him, but they also drew him into a dangerous underground world filled with human traffickers, corrupt priests, and anti-government guerillas eager to exploit his abilities. Their adventure unfolds as a gripping narrative about a man determined to return to his family and the loyal friend willing to assist him. It also serves as a poignant commentary on the harsh realities of U.S. immigration policy, seen through the lens of an extraordinary life.
