Daniel Morrissee, known as SeeMore online, sees everyone’s future, all at the same time, and it’s too much. Others call it a gift. To him, it’s a curse that threatens to steal what’s left of his ragged sanity. At sixteen, he joins Corporate Security Services. They throw him into combat during the Corporate Wars of the 2060s—governments are obsolete. Losing portions of both legs three weeks into his tour dumps more fuel onto the bonfire of SeeMore's madness. But he refuses to give up.
A few tortured years later, he invents a technology that enables him to live in a different world. SeeMore calls it his CyberWorld, the CW, or just “the c-dub”. Neither his legs nor the rest of his body matter anymore, and he can filter his runaway mind.
Overnight, with this new tech, he learns how to control the madness. The excruciating noise screaming at him from all directions becomes his to command. With pictures of the future in his mind under control, SeeMore is unique and in demand. He puts those tools to work.
Then he meets Mysty Brass who is bombarded by everyone else’s thoughts in the present moment. His technology saves her life too. They fall in love, hire more geeks like themselves, and their c-dub (online) company becomes a runaway success.
Powerful adversaries seek to destroy their new life. Why? Because SeeMore and those around him are different, and they’re becoming influential. These people fear anything they can’t or won’t understand. SeeMore takes an impossible stand to defend his home—his sanctuary, the c-dub.
Worse, their planet is dying and the c-dub that SeeMore and his friends are creating might become a sanctuary for all humanity, even for those who seek to destroy them. But will they survive long enough to complete their dream? If they do, can they save humanity from itself and the world on which it perches, a place called Planet Earth?
