"Cassie McKinney has always believed in the Hive. Social media used to be out of control, after all. People were torn apart by trolls and doxxers.

With nowhere to turn, she must learn to rely on herself--and a group of Hive outcasts who may not be reliable--as she slowly uncovers the truth about the machine behind the Hive"--Amazon.com.
