Description

In just eight days, every secret you've ever kept could be laid bare for the world to see. A shadowy group known as 'The Horrible Siliconettes' makes this chilling promise, and Flake, a prominent data-dystopian YouTuber, is their top suspect. Accused of orchestrating a terrorist act, Flake sees it as a wake-up call for society. As the world grapples with the looming threat, Flake finds himself drawn to Leeza, a bright-eyed Silicon Valley insider who believes in the power of social media to do good. Their budding romance is set against the backdrop of a society on the brink of chaos. Together, they ignite a viral social media campaign challenging Big Tech's ethics, drawing both admiration and adversaries. As users abandon social media platforms and stock markets waver, the impending data dump - dubbed 'The Big One' in Silicon Valley circles - threatens to dismantle lives, topple corporate giants, and even destabilize governments. Amidst this whirlwind, Flake and Leeza's relationship is put to a test as they get pulled into a web of corporate intrigue and political machinations.
