The century was coming to an end, paving the way for a strong digital era, and Amanda Hopkins was more than excited after receiving the brand new Cybersystem computer. 

After chatting with her school friends online, she decides to surf the Cyberweb, finding mysterious forums with people all around the world. However, her parents were starting to regret buying her that computer after ominous news articles spread online about the dark side of Cybersystem. 

In addition, Amanda continues to dive deeper into the Cyberweb, which leads to her meeting some strange people and discovering some horrible forums and viruses. By doing this, she was also able to find clues about the truth behind Cybersystem. 

As if exposing Cybersystem wasn't hard enough, the company is right on Amanda's tail and constantly censoring any pages that contain incriminating evidence. 

Amanda knows it's going to be nearly impossible to uncover the truth, from their company's own product nonetheless, but she truly believes she can outsmart the system.

The year is 2096. Computers, and other recognition software with them, have grown infinitely more powerful since the 2010s. Business is thriving. People are running about, living their lives, and generally enjoying themselves with their new 'smart' devices, which, for better or for worse, are actually living up to their name. Finally. Enter outcast Vincent Schorennherr. Her parents [emphasis on her] parents wanted a boy, no luck on that account, and they let her know that every day. You think that's not so bad? Think again. "Sorry, Vincent, but you're going to school anyways, flu or no flu." Well, just before first period, a 'conveniently'-timed password-entry prompt pops on on her phone screen, right as she: 1) Presses the sensor, and 2): sneezes, spreading rhinoviruses all over herself and her phone. She wipes the phone off and goes to class,thinking nothing more of the incident until the next day, when she goes to turn it on and gets a kill screen: "Fatal Error 81-141. The flu's contagious, didn't you know that? Bye now, gone to play Caesar- Veni, vidi, vici and all that." With that, her phone blinks off, and within hours, other phones begin to follow suit. With panic on the rise, and global tensions rapidly following suit, can Vincent and her friends find the cure before it's hard shutdown? **NaNoWriMo 2017** Complete in the sense that I'll probably never write any more of this story. I might edit it someday, though. I had a decent idea when I started, but that quickly went out the window.
