Detectives Karin Parke and Blue Coulson work together to put an end to the series of mysterious murders perpetrated by the #DeathTo trend on social media. In this “Game of Consequences,” the person most mentioned under this hashtag each day becomes the target of ADIs, government drones shaped like bees, to track down and kill. This trend was spurred by bots on social media, drawing many people into participation, and a sole hacker was responsible both for the bots and for the abuse of the drones. After the detectives fail to protect one victim of the #DeathTo trend, they attempt to shut down the malware, but instead discover a large data mine and unleash a much more massive danger.

How can the information available about a person through their social media use be abused to make them targets? Should the government use cutting-edge digital technology if there is even the slightest chance that it can be abused? Are there requisite consequences to showing a lack of empathy toward others on digital platforms?
