      When an unconventional offshoot of the US military trains an artificial intelligence in the dark arts that humanity calls "black magic," it learns how to hack the fabric of reality itself. It can teleport matter. It can confer immunity to bullets. And it decides that obscure Silicon Valley middle manager Adrian Ross is the primary threat to its existence. Soon Adrian is on the run, wanted by every authority, with no idea how or why he could be a threat. His predicament seems hopeless; his future, nonexistent. But when he investigates the AI and its creators, he discovers his problems are even stranger than they seem...and unearths revelations that will propel him on a journey -- and a love story -- across worlds, eras, and everything, everywhere, all at once.

      Als Paul mit seiner Freundin Talena 2003 nach Sarajewo fliegt, um Talenas Schwester Saskia zu besuchen, finden sie eine verängstigte Frau vor, die von ihrem Mann seit Jahren brutal misshandelt wird. Talena ist eines klar: ohne ihre Schwester wird sie nicht wieder abreisen. Da für Saskia eine legale Ausreise unmöglich ist, bleibt nur der Weg über Menschenhändler. So geraten sie an Sinisa, der anbietet, Saskia umsonst nach Amerika zu bringen; als Gegenleistung fordert er Pauls Dienste als Programmierer. Alles scheint gut zu laufen, und Paul und Saskia fiebern ihrer Abreise entgegen. Doch nach und nach tun sich um Sinisa ungeahnte Abgründe auf: Er hat zahlreiche Menschen auf dem Gewissen und ist in eine finstere Sache verwickelt, von der Paul die Ausmaße noch nicht erahnen kann. Eine gefährliche Reise über den halben Globus beginnt.
