In a near-future London where humans and humanoid bots live side      by side, a sophisticated virus is infiltrating the national system.         If it uploads fully, every intelligent machine in the country      - from home assistants to hospital bots to android enforcers -      will shut down.       Zero, a thirteen-year-old hacker whose day job is to sneak into      high-security server rooms and 'liberate' funds from undeserving      corporations, has a serious distrust of bots - and no real interest      in saving the world. But the virus threatens the life of Grace,      his younger sister, who - as a result of the car crash that killed      their parents ten years ago - now has a machine heart.       No one will work harder than Zero to stop the upload. Except perhaps      Andi, a mysterious humanoid bot who has appeared with secrets      of his own. Zero doesn't trust him. He doesn't even like him.         But with only hours on the clock, the only way to protect Grace      might be to partner up. And along the way, he must come up against      MI6 - and unravel his own past...          A fast-paced, page-turning adventure full of punchy action,      intrigue, a hero to root for and a memorable cast - both human      and android.          The pace, thrills and stakes of spy novels like Cherub      and Alex Rider, but from the rebellious angle of a Robin-Hood-style      underground organisation.          Tackles the hot and ever-growing topic of AI head on, asking      thought-provoking questions about what it means to be human in a      world of intelligent machines. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56420505911669,"sku":"9780702348358","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780702348358.jpg?v=1764609542","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780702348358","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
