    Summary

    “I think therefore I am. / The more we say it the more it sounds like / I think therefore I will be.”
    —Neil Hilborn, “This is Not the End of the World”

    Into a world of corporate espionage and out-of-control technological advancement steps Corvo Attano. Having escaped from prison and on the run from accusations of the murder of his lover and employer Jessamine Kaldwin, he seeks to find his missing daughter Emily. Opposed by the ruling singularity OVERSEER, surrounded by untrustworthy allies, and alone against the face of overwhelming force, Corvo has only one ally. The Outsider, the ghost in the machine, offers him powers beyond human imagining. Corvo doesn't know what the price is, nor does he care.

    He has exactly one goal: destroy the men who killed Jessamine and took Emily.

    And if that means allowing the world to burn...he's happy to do it.
