They take over the net and use it to monitor every citizen. NIK SMITH is one of a group of intellectuals that refuse the link and he manages to elude the police for years. But he makes a wrong turn and gets caught in a police round up hunting for Ediots; the unlinked. When he regains consciousness, in a jail cell, he discovers he’s lost something; his memories. The Authorities want to know how Nik avoided being linked. Is he a member of the anti-link terrorist organization, C.I.A.L.? Nik wants to know the same things.

And he thinks he has it all figured out, until he meets the aliens.
