2005: Greetings from the restless sibling states of what was once California, NoCal and SoCal. The millenium has arrived and gone in this place, leaving only shocked survivors behind. Berry Rydell is a former armed-response rentacop in Los Angeles who now works as a bounty hunter. Pickpocket Chevette Washington, a former bicycle messenger, suddenly grabs a pair of seemingly harmless sunglasses. These aren't your typical colors, either. What's seen through these cutting-edge specs has the power to either make you wealthy or kill you. Now that Berry and Chevette are on the run, they are focusing on DatAmerica's digital core, where the highest high is found in pure knowledge. And it may be awful to lose one's sanity.
