"In his youth, Richard 'Dodge' Forthrast founded Corporation 9592, a gaming company that made him a multibillionaire. Now in his middle years, Dodge appreciates his comfortable, unencumbered life . . . One . . . day, while he undergoes a routine medical procedure, something goes irrevocably wrong. Dodge is pronounced brain dead and put on life support, leaving his stunned family and close friends with difficult decisions. Long ago, when . . . Dodge drew up his will, he directed that his body be given to a cryonics company . . . Legally bound to follow the directive despite their misgivings, Dodge's family has his brain scanned and its data structures uploaded and stored in the cloud, until it can eventually be revived. In the coming years, technology allows Dodge's brain to be turned back on . . . An eternal afterlife--the Bitworld--is created, in which humans continue to exist as digital souls. But this brave new immortal world is not the utopia it might first seem . . ."--Jacket flap.

Kasumi, one of a small band of survivors who awoke too soon from a frozen state which was supposed to keep them safe until a cure could be found for a virus that turns its victims into stone, continues her quest to find a way off the island on which she has been imprisoned, and sets off with her companions into a half-submerged tunnel, not knowing what awaits them at the end.

Kasumi and her twin sister, Shizuku, are infected by a virus that turns them to stone; but Kasumi, who was cryogenically frozen, wakes up to find herself in an unfamiliar world, and resolves to unlock the mysteries of the disease and the fate of her sister.
