Synopsis
In the 1980s, German computer hackers began to surf what would become the net, breaking into Pentagon systems and German atomic energy plants. Using a mystical book called Illuminata, the hackers work on the belief that there is a world beneath this one, a world accessible only in elaborate number codes such as those of computer programming.
