Crossed Wires is about two young hackers attending the same Pacific Northwest technical college: Theresa, a cool, calculating pro, and Alan, a mouthy but passionate novice. They start as enemies in Chapter 00 ("The Dark Spectrum") when Alan tries to join Theresa's elite-level hacker gang, but in Chapter 01 ("A Treatise On Optics") a serious goof-up forces them to work together against an Austrian information security superstar. Alan and Theresa couldn't be more different, but cyberspace is a cruel city, and they'll need to help each other to survive swordfights, virtual locust swarms, fancy dress parties, Intro to Creative Writing, and more!
