That is until she meets Orpheus.<br> Orpheus was brought up in isolation by a Neo-luddite father. He was raised to question everything, including the government who plan to make the connection procedure compulsory.<br> They promise that connecting everyone to the Panopticon will end human suffering and usher in a more perfect world. But when Orpheus and Moremi uncover the dark side of the technology, they find themselves on opposite sides of a radical divide, between those who believe that the Panopticon will save humanity, and those who will stop at nothing to destroy it.<br> About <a href="https://www.theonlytemioh.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Temi Oh</a>: Temi Oh wrote her first novel while studying for a BSci in Neuroscience.
