Living off the grid in a totally plugged-in world.He's also working on a way to bring down the entire online infrastructure responsible for his wife's death.As the time nears for the implementation of his revolutionary plan, the question is - who can he trust?Imagine a not-too-distant future where you can be online 24/7 - plugged into the internet - able to stream video directly to your eyes, and audio straight to your ears. Instant communication with anybody, anywhere. GPS, banking, entertainment, work - all available through a simple cranial installation called The File.Imagine the freedom!Imagine the enslavement.For Kyle White, widowered father of teenage twins, the risks - and the restrictions - are just too much. But in a world where living off the grid is a crime, a life unplugged can get cut short by forces intent on eliminating any aberrations in the data set - such as free individuals.
