Ivy Velasquez did, so she became someone else. In the 3D virtual world Marionette City, you can be anything you wish – but everyone still knows who you are. Driven by her desire to have a new existence, Ivy requires her future in her hands when she makes another identification for herself. An excellent designer, Ivy functions for one of the large multi-national firms which control the online system the globe relies upon for both business and satisfaction. But 1 day, Ivy tries to access about Self Produced M City as her alternative self, Reuben Cobalt, to discover that Reuben had been murdered.

Since alternate identities are forbidden from the companies which control access to the nets and to M City, Ivy has nowhere to carefully turn – until she finds Andersson Dexter. Component private eye, component vigilante and component cop, Dex pieces out to discover Reuben’s killer. Because the companies control almost every aspect of existence, including regulation and order, justice for common people comes just at the hands of the outlaw firm to which Dex belongs.

But above all, it is a story of how people make an effort to control their own destinies, and exactly how that desire affects them as well as the people around them with techniques they could by no means imagine.
