ThreadBare is property, one of the Imam's vast pool of implanted servants called "debuggers." He lives in a smelly, greasy garage on the boundary of the battlefield known as Delusion. All he wants is to complete his tasks, exceed his rivals, and stay alive. Possibly get a promotion.
When an atypical chore brings him into contact with two rogue debuggers, things get complicated. Soon he's struggling with the life he's always known. New ideas plague him, brutality vexes him, and women distract him.
Then there's the list of offline debuggers, those who've quietly disappeared. Through datamixes--dreamlike records of their lives--Thread tries to uncover the truth. Where did they go? What does it all mean? And what can one forgotten debugger do about it anyway?
