Artists. Cadigan P.

This is a world in which new technologies, without even having come to the streets, give rise to new types of crimes. This is a world in which computer viruses gain a person. The world in which consciousness and the environment merged to such an extent that reality is constantly redone, destroyed and revived. And the most advanced demiurges of the New Age are artists, a semi -legal group of hackers and pirates who take images from the mind of other people and turn them into what can be packaged, sell and consume. All artists have already so hooked on virtual reality that many go to artificial worlds forever, leaving their body. But now it has become dangerous on the Web, a strange virus has appeared in it, which has a true mind that can bring down any system and mutilate the human brain. It was created by artists, and now they will have to stop their own creation.
