Near future. Book 2 of trilogy: Dreams of Flesh and Sand , Dreams of Gods and Men , Singularities .
"Arius was a God. Computer-generated, its artificial intelligence was combined with the brilliantly anarchic mind of Bill Norton, computer genius, whose persona only lived on in the metamatrix. And God was Mad.
"Iceberg Berg, who had derailed Norton's plans once before, was missing, possibly dead. Calley and Toshi, his ex-wife and jacked-up Samurai body-guard, have to search the metamatrix and the real-time world to find him. But, in doing so, they must face overwhelming odds as Arius and the mysterious Lady let loose scientifically engineered werewolves, computer-enhanced killing machines and yet stranger entities to destroy them". [jacket blurb, UK pbk, 1989]
