All That We See or Seem By Ken Liu (A Julia Z Novel, Book 1)

STEP INTO A BRILLIANTLY CRAFTED NEAR-FUTURE TECHNO-THRILLER FROM KEN LIU, THE AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR OF THE DANDELION DYNASTY!

At fourteen, Julia Z gained international notoriety as the "orphan hacker"—a teenage prodigy who broke the law and captivated the nation. Years later, she is desperately trying to live a life of digital obscurity, hiding out in a quiet Boston suburb. But her fragile anonymity is shattered when a desperate lawyer named Piers barges onto her doorstep with a high-stakes missing persons case.

Piers's wife, Elli, is a celebrated "oneirofex"—a visionary dream artist who uses cutting-edge artificial intelligence to weave collective, emotionally resonant dreams for live audiences. Elli has been kidnapped by a dangerous international criminal syndicate demanding something she stole from them, and Piers is convinced Julia is the only one who can find her. Against her better judgment, Julia is pulled back into the shadows, embarking on a harrowing cross-country journey that forces her to confront high-tech conspiracies, dangerous digital puzzles, and the ghosts of her own fractured psyche.
