When everything changed, death didn't take like it used to.

In San Francisco’s pulsing neon haze, Chris Somberg, is an e-sports prodigy past his sell-by. Strung out and couch surfing after software behemoth, PraetorLogic, axed his signature game, he’s reduced to peddling his nervous system to anyone with a pulse and a credit card, doubting every life choice he’s ever made.
