Plot summary
On his birthday, Luke Gibson drives his pregnant wife Veronica to work when a truck hits their car. Veronica dies, and Luke is left with severe brain damage. Because his medical coverage has lapsed, an executive named Virgil proposes an experimental operation to Luke's sister: a chip implanted in his brain. Luke wakes with no memory and with visions he cannot explain. The chip belongs to a corporation that files him as Subject 373 of a project, and it keeps sending him advertisements until he obtains the product. Underground hackers, among them Hal, Luke's father, Keyboard, Punk Blue and Punk Red, help him.
