Description from the back of the book.

Son of ArcOne's powerful Overlord, Tomi had looked forward to Access Day all his life. On that day his infopak would be surgically implanted in his back, connecting him with the vast knowledge of the domed city's computers.

But soon after, Tomi began to wonder why some of ArcOne's inhabitants received the gift of wisdom, while others were condemned to live as slaves.

Then a rebellion left him stranded in the wilderness beyond the city's walls. There he discovered ArcOne's terrible secretâand a life of freedom and promise he had never dreamed possible.
