More About This Title Hotwire

English

A cyberpunk classic of a new Frankenstein, reborn for a new generation, this thriller links the groundbreaking works of William Gibson to the new generation of writers such as Charles Stross and Hannu Rajaniemi

Ajay had a future once, birthing intelligent cities for the Haag Agency. First Delhi, then Milan. But then he is seduced into betraying his employers and finds himself working for a city that wishes to become human. Ajay must steal some rare technology from a long-dead wetware expert, a new Frankenstein called Snow, a man who is now alive in an AI—and who wants a new toy for his manufactured daughter. This thriller is set in the same world as Hot Head, years later.
