Always being connected to technology is nothing new for Daj, a young Maglan who dreams of flying. With constant access to vid streams, friends, fans, and everything digital, there's nothing else he needs. When he stumbles upon an anti-tech group, however, he begins to see the other side of a world controlled by technology.
