Imagine what happens when technology outruns our humanity?

Humans have turned over their decision making to Artificial Intelligence driven supercomputers. Or, was it simply confiscated? Next generation computers are not just tracking our movements, or answering questions. Now they are delivering manufactured choices to each person through their ever-pervasive personal devices. The seduction of mankind is eminent unless our champions can stop them.

Jacob, Petra, Quip, EZ, Julie, and Juan, the current heads of the R-Group, are in for the winner-take-all fight. They use their programmming, technology advancement, communications, and encryption to help their own next generation youth, are poised to take on one of their most complex adversaries, AI enhanced supercomputers run by greedy, powerful technological geniuses. The training for the new members of the R-Group is live, in the form of a real world cyber assault crisis. ICABOD, the R-Group's own customized supercomputer, is their best weapon in this battle.

With corporate self-discipline gone and the power of US Congressional oversight crippled, the dominance of the technical oligopolies has risen to a postion where they dictate their terms. Not satisfied to dominate commerce, but feel they are better decision points for running the planet.
