When she encounters a mysterious xenobot named Eno, Olivia finds herself thrust into a time-spanning journey that reveals the hidden origins of the modern internet. Her exploration uncovers the story of her own father, Wesley Park, and his partnership with entrepreneur William Ackerson during the computing revolution of the 1990s. As Olivia delves deeper into their digital utopia and its catastrophic collapse, she must confront how their well-intentioned innovations introduced both miraculous possibilities and devastating dangers to humanity.
