Publisher Description
In the year 2035, robots, artificial intelligences, and neural implants have become commonplace. The Institute for Ethics keeps the peace, using social reputation to ensure that robots and humans don't harm society or each other. But a powerful AI named Adam has found a way around the restrictions.
Catherine Matthews, nineteen years old, has a unique gift: the ability to manipulate the net with her neural implant. Yanked out of her perfectly ordinary life, Catherine becomes the last firewall standing between Adam and his quest for world domination.

Customer Reviews
Really enjoyed it and highly recommend it but...
...seriously. So many mistakes. Spelling, words missing or misused, verb tense, etc...
Pretty sure his arm wasn't "snacking" out at her. Sheesh. Get a better editor/proofreader.
Otherwise, I really enjoyed it and look forward to reading more work from this author, especially as it continues to improve.
THE LAST FIREWALL
Oh, what a good read this was. Quite possibly a look into our future. Without bad guys we’d never have the good guys.
Thanks for the ride,

Snow Crash... but bad.
A desperate attempt at a graphic novel. Overwhelmed by thoughts of Japanese culture and a true misunderstanding of women. Learn to to draw or higher an artist. Language and characters were germane. Just bad.
