322 pages, 2016
Angie, a computer veteran with social networking experience, works as a data analyst for Tomo, the world's largest social networking firm. At night, she uses her database access to profile domestic abusers and kills the worst among them. Although she may not be able to undo the events of her own painful history, she can help other women by eliminating tech abusers like Tomo, who are out to profit at consumers' expense.
Angie recognizes Tomo for what he is—another terrible abuser—when he develops a new product that preys on consumers' concerns to boost its own income. Angie plans to eliminate Tomo by creating a new social network that is entirely scattered, compartmentalized, and unbreakable—free of any centralized control. But how can an antisocial coder with too many dark secrets succeed when the world's largest tech company is determined to smash her?
