Description

50 years ago, two little boys set out in the world. At the same time, companies begin using computers. Aiden and Stevie don’t fit in the grey society of the 1970s, but when punk rock explodes across the land, misfits like them are welcomed with open arms.The scene is intoxicating: the music, the camaraderie, the ‘you can do anything’ philosophy. Encouraged, they follow their dreams. But sometimes, dreams can become nightmares. While Aiden gets involved with East German spies and Stevie becomes a part of a street gang, computers become smarter and the internet arrives.But the billionaires controlling the network haven’t had enough; they know whoever controls the killswitch controls the Internet, and they want that power. Now, the fate of mankind rests in the hands of two dodgy, old punks. Our heroes are battle weary and intimidated by modern technology; they need someone younger to answer the call.There is someone who has the right attitude and the skills, but he isn’t convinced the human race deserves to be saved. Soon, the three find themselves racing against time and impossible odds… and they are the only hope we’ve got.
