The Horizon Trap

The "Future Internet" was being marketed in fine style - faster, better. The chat rooms and message boards were alive. Just where would this Quantum Internet lead mankind? Just how connected do we need to be? - people asked, and of course from where did the unprecedented leap-forward in science originate. Away from all hype the truth was even more remarkable. Somebody knew the risks, somebody knew where the technology came from - and that somebody was Max Kholer, CEO and owner of Bionamic, one half of the world's first Particle Entangled Communications Networks. The launch of Web2.0 was a well publicised event, unlike the hack which accompanied it. The hack was rapidly becoming a "thorn in Kholer's side," a problem he was determined to eliminate at any cost. With Kholer's past fast catching up on him, the authorities focus their attention on the last remaining hacker, Finley; a lone individual whose freedom seemed to defy the odds. It would be days before people were to realise how involved Finley had become, days before anyone would know they were no longer looking for an ordinary man.
