Produktbeschreibung

Perfect for fans of Dragon Pearl by Yoon Ha Lee, this thrilling, cinematic sci-fi novel follows Hana Hsu's mission to save herself-and her friends-from a dangerous plot to control their minds. Hana Hsu can't wait to be meshed. Selected for Start-Up, a prestigious program designed to train the country's most talented twelve-year-olds, Hana has the chance to be connected to the multiweb through a neural implant like her mom and sister by the end of the summer-if she can beat out half of her classmates. But the competition is tougher than Hana imagined, and when her hobby for tinkering with bots gets her mixed up in some dangerous business at the junkyard, she knows her class ranking is at risk. Even more troubling, she starts to notice that something's not right at Start-Up-some of her friends are getting sick, and no matter what she does, her tech never seems to work right. And with an ominous warning from her grandmother about the safety of being meshed, Hana begins to wonder if gaining access to the tech early is really a good idea. Determined to get to the bottom of things, Hana teams up with scavengers, hackers, and a qi gong master in her quest for the truth. She soon finds herself spying on the corporation where her own mother is a high-level scientist, meaning the answers could be closer to home than she's ready to accept. Hana must figure out who to trust before it's too late if she's going to save her classmates-and herself-from a world so plugged in it has become disconnected.
