Description
When Lucas and Margo, two undervalued employees at a tech start-up, decide to steal their company's user database as an act of rebellion, their carefully planned heist takes a devastating turn—Margo dies in a mysterious car accident, leaving Lucas with a dangerous secret and mounting questions about whether her death was truly accidental. Desperate for answers, Lucas infiltrates Margo's digital world and discovers a hidden online life that reveals how little he actually knew about his closest friend. Through biting humor and incisive observations about race, power, and invisibility in Silicon Valley, Kevin Nguyen explores the paradox of connection in our hyperconnected age: how intimacy becomes impossible when we're constantly surveilled, and how the people closest to us remain strangers. This inventive debut weaves together a gripping mystery with a sharp critique of start-up culture, asking what it truly means to know someone in a world where everyone has something to hide.
