Back Cover :

There’s a glitch in the system. The Savard family is acutely aware of it, and Daphne, the youngest, suffers its consequences daily. That's why hacking has become her weapon of choice. She’s ready to fight for Robin, her only son, who must escape the pre-programmed existence designed for him.

In a world where performance dictates the rules, the overall efficiency rate has reached an unprecedented high. Yet, merely being the best in your field is no longer sufficient. To reach a coveted position, one must be born into the elite and remain there. Above all, one must perfectly embody the ideal professiona lprofile without ever wavering. The Optimal Community Party strives for excellence in everything.

Daphne is determined to find a way to exploit the next glitch. The challenge of a lifetime has begun! Under the calculating gaze of the famous Aaron Lazar and the constant threat of the Firewall militia, this ordinary citizen dreams of the day when everyone will get their opportunity.

However, disrupting the system for the common good comes at a cost. Will the audacity of the Savard heiress be enough to finally let her touch the stars? And who will care for her loved ones if she’s erased from memory?
