Jake 2.0

Jake "JJ" Jordan is a gifted computer technician who has spent most of his life understanding machines better than people. He is ordinary, isolated, and largely invisible-until a catastrophic accident involving experimental nanotechnology changes him forever.

After surviving exposure to the classified Ascension project, Jake discovers that he can communicate with electronics, access secured systems, and influence technology through thought alone. At first, his new abilities seem like an impossible gift. But every connection carries a cost, and the deeper he reaches into the digital world, the less certain he becomes where his own mind ends and the machines begin.

When a series of impossible messages, covert operations, kidnappings, bombings, and classified files connect Jake to a hidden technological conspiracy, powerful organizations begin hunting him. The government wants to control him. A mysterious hacker known as W1LDR wants to understand him. And someone is attempting to activate a protocol that was never supposed to recognize a living human being.

As Jake is pulled into a dangerous world of espionage, experimental weapons, artificial intelligence, and buried secrets, he must learn to control the technology inside him before it controls him.

Because Jake was never chosen.

He was never supposed to survive.

And now something inside the system knows his name.
