What kind of a world is 'Snitch World'? It is a culmination of many
different worlds - some old, some new. This world is a San
Francisco of menacing technology, where the old cons come up too
short, too slow - and where the crimes of the night have made way
for those committed from the glow of a screen.
The streets of San Francisco ooze with danger, sex, poets, and
technology in this hard-boiled mystery, creating a story that is at
turns hilarious, thrilling, and obscene. Set in the 1980s, this is
the tale of an idealistic and angst-ridden writer who struggles
with day-to-day responsibilities such as paying his rent on time.
Exploring ways to exploit technology, the writer flirts with
hacking, while dealing with a world of bars, bordellos, and the
AIDS virus. When the writer learns the passwords to the inner
workings of the publishing industry's digital realm, he finds
himself facing dangers from unexpected places.
