One-Paragraph Summary

In a world dominated by megacities and controlled by AI-driven corporations, an ancient text is discovered that seems to reshape our understanding of linguistic -- and human -- development. This find is made by a naive but rebellious scholar who soon teams up with a ruthless bounty hunter sent to steal the discovery. Before they can learn its secrets, the text unleashes a virus that strips humans of their ability to process language. While the megacorporations bid for control of the text -- claiming to find cure, but hoping for more power -- the duo, assisted by a member of a mythical hacking collective known as the Low Gods, realize that the text is also a transmitter, signaling its alien creators to invade. Racing against time, the expanding team attempt to stop the pandemic and the invasion through sacrifice and metamorphosis.

One-Page Summary

(Expand each sentence of your summary paragraph into a full paragraph. All but the last paragraph should end in a disaster. The final paragraph should tell how the book ends.)

Plot Synopsis

(Expand the one-page plot synopsis of the novel to a four-page synopsis. Basically, you will again be expanding each paragraph from step (4) into a full page.)
