Opis

It's time for the updates to end. With the release of 'Status Update Deleted' the trilogy that started with Status Update Required finally comes to a thrilling and dramatic conclusion. Over the course of 400+ pages, characters old and new will face their final challenges as the battle for the online digital world, and for the minds of all those who use it, comes to an end that will change everything. The official blurb: ...Status Update Loaded... When the crackdown started, people believed it would be the end of all their troubles, the end of all online criminality. With the newly establish International Administration Authority guiding the way, the world changed into a new version of itself, one where a person's online profile was the only thing that mattered. But that very change saw the rise of the muted generation, people so indoctrinated in the world of technology that the ability to speak never developed within them. With the silence came new laws, ones that required people to communicate every few hours through a government approved social media site. ...Required... It's a world that Icarus08 finds himself at odds with now more than ever. Years of sitting awake at night, searching the net for anything resembling a human connection never prepared him for this. Out of everything he could have imagined, hooking up with Chemical_Queen was the last thing he would have expected. Her secretive past has caused them no end of troubles, but together the two have survived everything from crazed drug dealers to violent aircraft crashes and the worst society can produce. But now, Icarus's strange coding abilities have made them both a target for the most powerful corporation in the world: Cesar, and its psychopathic CEO, Chem's father Jonathon Quinn. ...Denied... The activation of Omega has changed everything. Icarus's last ditch effort to save him and Chem from the grasp of Quinn's brainwashed Moderator army took everyone by surprise, even himself. Its effects have been numerous and powerful, and now Quinn will do anything to find the key to controlling the malicious code that even now worms its way into everything. When Chem wakes up alone and afraid, she fears the worst, but is quickly comforted by a world that is nothing like the one she remembers, a world where her happiness is the most important thing. A world where there is no sign of Icarus... Elsewhere, as the world prepares to embrace the launch of Cesar's newest wrist set, it is blissfully unaware of the dangers it faces. The mind controlling devices will soon be everywhere and no one, not even the rebellious group of hacktivists known as the Speechless, can stop them. With Quinn's victory seemingly assured, only one thing holds any chance of defeating him now; a fire of anger that if unleashed could consume the entire world. ...Deleted...
