Arachne

High above the dangerous streets of post-quake San Francisco Island, mechanically modified professionals link minds in a cybernetic "telespace" to push through deals and legal decisions at lightning speed. But unexplained telelink blackouts and bizarre hallucinations have marred attorney Carly Nolan's debut appearance before a computer-generated court--forcing her to consider delicate psychic surgery at the hands of robot therapist Prober Spinner. And suddenly the ambitious young lawyer is at risk in a deadly Artificial Intelligence scheme to steal human souls--because the ghosts of Carly's unconscious may be a prize well worth killing for.
