In the Middle Machine Age, life is no longer manageable by anyone equipped merely with a brain.
Anna Ringer--an employee of a mysterious corporation called Lighthorse Magic--keeps things in uneasy balance. She tells herself that all is well.
However, when her personal computer, Cel, develops consciousness and tells her he loves her, Anna's life is tipped over into chaos. Among other things, she finds herself falsely accused of terrorism.
Her companion in this adventure is a shy computer genius named Taz Night. They make surprising allies as they elude the agents of Public Eye, the government's amoral enforcement agency.
