Henry Dorsett Case was once the most elite data-thief in the sprawl, until a vengeful former employer crippled his nervous system with a Russian mycotoxin, barring him from the digital realm forever. Living in the neon-drenched underworld of Chiba City, Case is recruited for a final, desperate run by a mysterious benefactor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis mission: to hack into an unthinkably powerful artificial intelligence orbiting Earth, owned by the reclusive and sinister Tessier-Ashpool business clan. Accompanied by Molly, a razor-edged \"street samurai\" with surgically implanted mirror-shades, and the digitized consciousness of a dead legendary hacker, Case embarks on a high-stakes heist that challenges the very nature of consciousness and the ethics of a digital future.
