Dragged from semi-retirement in the year 2060 by a desperate Earth government, Nadia Oliphant is conscripted to investigate and solve code name Memestalk; a deadly bio-cybernetic virus. She would much rather quietly watch the sunsets from her Namaqualand home, but agrees to help when the pandemic gets personal. Pushed reluctantly into a world she loaths, she returns to a chaotic Cape Town to begin the race against Memestalk for the life of her grandson, and millions more. Hacked is a handbrake-turn through a speculative future with high tech and higher stakes.
