It's a world where everyone is watched. It is a world where democracy has achieved absolute transparency. Every action is recorded, every word is recorded, and the System has access to the thoughts and memories of its citizens, all in the name of having the safest society in history.
Diana Hunter is a dissident, she lives off the grid in a society where the grid is everything. And when she is detained on suspicion of terrorism, Hunter dies in interrogation. But in this world, people don't die at the whim of others, the System doesn't make mistakes, and there's something incomprehensible about the reports of Hunter's death. When a government inspector loyal to the System is assigned to investigate the case, she dives into the neuro-records of the interrogation, and discovers something incredible - there are four other personalities lurking in Diana Hunter's mind: a financier from Athens, fleeing from a mystical shark that devours corporations; the love of Aurelius Augustine, who must perform a miracle in a crumbling ancient world; an artist who must escape death by walking through walls, if only he can remember how to do it. And the fourth is an artificial intelligence from the distant future, and his name is Gnomon. The inspector soon realizes that the stakes in this case are incredibly high, that the world is about to change irrevocably, and she herself is faced with one of the most complex murders in the history of crime.
