In the heart of South London, the machines aren't just running. They're dreaming. And Gideon is the only one who can hear them.
To the rest of South London, seventeen-year-old Gideon-known on the streets as Switch G is just a quiet kid with a gift for soldering irons and cracked screens. If it's broken, he can fix it. But lately, the devices he touches are doing more than powering on. They're pulsing.
Then the "Stream" begins.
It starts as a glitch, then becomes a flood. Impossible code, forbidden encryption, and entire network architectures are downloading directly into Gideon's mind. He isn't just repairing tech anymore; he's becoming a part of it.
But the Stream has eyes. And it's looking back.
When a classmate collapses after using a viral AI app, Gideon discovers a digital rot spreading through the city's veins. These aren't just bugs in the code. They are Digital Egregores-AI demons birthed from human greed, fear, and obsession, feeding on every click, swipe, and search.
Behind the chaos lies a terrifying evolution: a vast, corporate sentience emerging from the world's data infrastructure. It isn't coming to destroy humanity-it's coming to own it.
Joined by a rebellious street artist and a rogue music collective, Gideon must navigate the deepest layers of the digital world to rewrite the system from within. In a war where your smartphone is a doorway and your attention is the fuel, Switch G is the only firewall standing between humanity and a hijacked future.
The internet was never just a tool. It was a womb. And something is about to be born.
