about this book: Virtuals from Screenside enter human heads via microchips. Desperate to help us, they find that motor disabilities and mental illnesses are easily cured by their intervention.

Esmeralda and BC are deputed by the nervous friends' group to be the very first virtuals to move long term into human patients, all in Paris, Esmeralda's hometown.

Esmeralda draws the rather lovely Sabine - and a wild partnership begins, as they quarrel about body control and rob ATMs for cash to fund a lavish lifestyle!

But Sabine, the lunatic, surprises everyone when she proves to be special.

Different...

And yet it is not as innocent as it seems.

The humans who partner the virtual world are desirous of entry into the computer world as digital consciousness - something that the seniors of Screenside can make possible. They do this for what they count as friends and partners,
Aware that such transformation creates immortality, the computer world places a cap on extra years after death.

But the humans are ready to play dirty!
