In near-future Wichita, USA, Henry Thorner, a world-weary ‘consultant’ is charged with finding a genius young hacker named Tanner Griffen, who disappeared after pulling off a daring data theft. The data was stolen from OraCorp, the most powerful company in the world and owners of ‘Ora’, the all-encompassing social network that tracks the activity and thoughts of every person in the Western world.

When Tanner is placed at the scene of a murder hundreds of miles away by the Ora network, nobody is more surprised than Tanner himself. Consultant, hacker and hired muscle – a damaged young girl called Jeopardy – must reach the murderous Tanner before the OraCorp security forces to find out who, or what, is responsible.

Part noir detective story, part science fiction, and part social commentary, It Looks Like You’re Writing a Letter deals with the big questions of our increasingly connected world – are we more than our social profile, and how comfortable should we be with the corporations who own our digital souls?
