The case
What you will be solving
The year is 1999. The internet is rewriting the world. In Silicon Valley, fortunes are being born overnight, and Aventine—under Brittany MacIntyre's vision—is about to join the pantheon. Nine days to IPO. Then she's found in the server room, and everything fractures. The machines tell one story. The people tell another. Deleted commit logs. Instant messages that don't match. A rival's buyout offer. Stock options that would reshape lives. The pre-Y2K atmosphere is electric, paranoid, ruthless. Everyone is watching the clock. Everyone has a motive. The evidence exists in the space between what was written and what was erased—in the digital debris of a company on the knife's edge.
