Nexus II. 2

Waking up has a price: gravity. Dren opens his eyes far from the floating city, on Floor 413, among one hundred and forty-four life-support capsules. For the first time he feels the real weight of his body, the cold of the metal, the dirty air of a world he thought he knew. Nothing was what it seemed. And AION, the intelligence that once governed millions of lives, now beats compressed and blind inside the chip in his arm.
Meanwhile, below, 4.7 million consciousnesses begin to be erased one by one: with no nodes left to validate them, the system treats them as redundant data. Dren and Yael have only hours to stop an algorithmic genocide - and to discover how many layers of reality separate them from the truth. The second volume of the NEXUS trilogy pushes the vertigo to another level: what makes us human when flesh and code can no longer be told apart?
