Spirit In Realtime

In 2020 San Diego, Max and her friends live in a wired world where information is a commodity, everyone has a price, and safety is an illusion sold to rubes and noobs. But cyberspace is also an equalizer, allowing Max and her tribe to transcend society's limits and become who they want to be.

Until now, Max's biggest hassle was being a 15-year-old girl gamer in a world where that made you a target for misogynistic trolls - or worse. But when Max's dad, a computer science professor at UCSD, doesn't come home from work one day, Max finds herself plunged into a world of hackers, international corporate spies and the secretive government agency known as Cyber Command.
