Danila lost his family, his home, and his friends when he was forcibly pulled out of the virtual universe of the Net. He ends up in a hostile world of non-chipped people, with their cruelty and filth. Only his best friend (the program installed on the chip) helps him survive. Danila wants to be turned into a pawn in a growing war, made into an ideal soldier fighting on two fronts—real and virtual. What can he possibly oppose to such power? Contains profanity.
