Lulz, a young italian hacker, on commission, sets up an online trap in the shape of an Astrology website to steal Giulia's personal information. However, the trap is so well designed that it ends up entangling everybody in this girl's orbit and Lulz, thanks to his computer skills and a good dose of cynicism, becomes 'the hand of fate' that steers their lives, revealing betrayals and orchestrating showdowns, until he himself is entangled in Giulia's existence and in the overpowering fondness that grows towards her.

Annoyed by the pointless reading, Lulz put the book down among the papers scattered on the desk. Those handbooks for would-be hackers had put him in a bad mood; always the same geeky platitudes, that never dealt with an in-depth look at hacking techniques. He had been asked to write a review of that book for a computer security magazine, but he didn’t want to sell out for a few bucks, that’s why he was going to turn the offer down.
“That stuff’s for lamers”, he said to himself as he turned on his laptop, “just as I thought”.
He stood up to get something to drink, making his way through stacks of photocopied academic books, that were lying in large boxes arranged haphazardly by the bed. The minibar was in a corner of the tiny room, next to a shabby armchair which he usually chilled out on in the evening in front of the TV.
“Damn, I need to stock up on beer!”, he exclaimed, grabbing the last can.
Back at the computer he logged in to Twitter, took a look at his latest messages, then wrote a new one for his followers: ‘Don’t buy Hacker's Book by John McLoan, it’s too expensive and it’s useless’.
He watched contentedly as the message appeared at the top of the list of other tweets.
“And now let’s get back to the serious stuff”, he said, opening a new browser window.
