Drugs, weapons, and hackers-for-hire are available at the touch of a button. Most who visit merely look around, happy to simply satisfy their curiosity before leaving, never to return. But some are sucked into the criminal underworld and find themselves doing things they would never have contemplated in the real world—ordering a hit on a love rival or bidding on an auction for a sex slave - like the people in this book.
