Summary
During the second decade of the 21st century, corporations rule. The world is threatened by a new plague, NAS (Nerve Attenuation Syndrome), which is a fatal epidemic and its cause and cure is unknown. The corporations are opposed by the LoTeks, a resistance movement which has risen from the streets and consists of hackers, data-pirates and guerrilla-fighters in the info-wars. The corporations defend themselves by hiring the Yakuza, the most powerful of all crime syndicates. They sheathe their data in black ice that contains lethal viruses waiting to burn the brains of intruders. But the LoTeks wait in their strongholds. However the most valuable information must sometimes be entrusted to mnemonic couriers, elite agents who smuggle data in wet-wired brain implants. Johnny Mnemonic is one of these couriers and this is his story.
