West Wilder is released on parole with one condition: never break into computers again. Once a gifted hacker, now an ex-con, he tries to piece together a life.
But the world West returns to is nothing like the one he left. Power has consolidated into G20S, a global security agency. Every digital move is watched. Every purchase leaves a trace. Every query builds a profile.
Someone inside G20S isn’t willing to let West fade into obscurity. Pressure is applied, first to him, then to his family. With no other options left, West turns to the one person who might be able to help: his former hacker partner and girlfriend, Melissa. Turns out she never stopped fighting the system, and she has use for West on a much bigger scale.
Identified is a hacker thriller with global cyber conflict, real-world exploits, and a chilling future where ordinary citizens are pitted against unaccountable global actors.
