Ever wish things were different?

Ivy Velasquez did, so she became someone else. In the 3D virtual world
Marionette City, you can be anything you want — but everyone still
knows who you are. Driven by her desire for a new life, Ivy takes her
future in her hands when she makes another identity for herself. A
brilliant designer, Ivy works for one of the huge firms which control
the online system the world relies upon for both business and
pleasure. But one day, Ivy discovers that her alternate self, Reuben
Cobalt, had been murdered.

Since alternate identities are forbidden by the firms which control
access to the nets and to M City, Ivy has nowhere to turn — until she
finds Andersson Dexter. Part private eye, part vigilante and part cop,
Dex sets out to uncover Reuben’s killer. Since the firms control
almost every aspect of life, including law and order, justice for
average people comes only at the hands of the outlaw organization to
which Dex belongs.

Self Made is a murder mystery set in a vision of a future that seems
to lurk just over the horizon. But above all, it is a story of how
people strive to control their own destinies, and how that desire
affects them and the people around them in ways they could never
imagine.
