It’s spring of 2043, and fifteen-year-old Alissa Terwilliger is the only student in her Washington, D.C., high school with a Chinese smart chip in her head.
It’s a dangerous time. Alissa’s boyfriend Nate is picked up by a drone and imprisoned in a Dark Site—a private prison where people are held indefinitely. She knows her grandfather could help. He’s a software titan and one of the richest people on earth. But he might be part of the problem.
Navigating a new world of AI and brain surveillance, Alissa must use her own networked chip to hunt down answers. This carries her on a risky mission into Washington’s highest echelons of power.
Dark Site is a novel of espionage and suspense. It previews the wild adventures we face as our minds meld with machines.
