Synopsis: In a postprivacy future, secrets are illegal and all communication is supervised. Telepaths are registered and recruited by a government with no qualms about invading the minds of its citizens. Fugitive psychics are hunted by the Bureau of Counterpsychic Affairs, or Countermind. Alan Izaki is one such fugitive, as well as a hacker, grifter, and thief. Countermind agent Jack Smith is hunting him through the twisted underbelly of Hong Kong. But Alan possesses a secret so dangerous and profound it will not only shake Smith’s loyalties, but the foundations of their society. And Alan isn’t the only one on the run. Rogue psychic Arissa binti Noor escapes Countermind, in search of brilliant game designer Feng Huang. She hopes that together, they can destroy the government’s intrusive Senex monitoring system. Their goals seem at odds, and their lives are destined to collide. When they do, three very different people must question their alliances and their future, because everything is about to change.
