Set in 2019 of a then futuristic vision of Singapore, individuals in the general population are identified by an implanted microchip and connected to a system called CyberLink. CyberLink is used for communication (sometimes virtual reality), monetary transactions and contains the records of all citizens. Criminals use fake chips, known as “SIMs” (Simulated Identity iMplants). Dash MacKenzie, a bounty hunter, in her search for a man who bought a SIM, uncovers a conspiracy to manipulate society schemed by the leaders of five conglomerates.
