Cymoeba: Awaken (2015) is a science fiction novel written by Y. Z. It features John Jones, a high school IT teacher, who becomes entangled in a series of action-packed events whilst helping his girlfriend Audrey Thompson. As the head of J-Cloud, the top technology monopoly in the world, Jason Kidman had always been a brilliant man who lived his life on the edge. Just hours after the launch of his newest technological advance, the Babel, he is reported killed in a car accident. Audrey surprises the entire J –Cloud when she steps forward as Jason's sister and predecessor of the company. As Audrey begins to deal with the J-Cloud CEO position, another dilemma unfolds as hackers begin to battle for control of Jason's invention, the Babel. The Prophet, a highly intelligent computer hacker, hires a skilled assassin name Forefinger to steal Jason's personal information by killing him in a car accident. After obtaining this information, the Prophet easily gains access to Jason's office and reprograms all newly purchased Babels to include his program, the Lightning of Zeus. The situation escalates as John is pulled in by Audrey to help resolve the problem. In the process of his coding to get rid J-Cloud of the Prophet's problematic program, the two hackers produce enough free radicals on the internet to allow for life to be born on the internet. Nicknamed by Audrey as Cymoeba, the creature begins wreaking havoc across the internet and in turn the world. As Cymoeba creates problems worldwide, Audrey works with Jason's head of security, Paul Garcia, to figure out if there was foul play in Jason’s car accident. This snooping leads The Prophet to tell Forefinger that John Jones must be eliminated. In the process of trying to protect John, Paul and Audrey as well as members of the J-Cloud Company stumble upon some surprising findings about John’s past as a major hacker. Audrey finds out that John hacked Wall Street and stole millions of dollars. Their relationship begins to take a turn for the worst as John goes into hiding to avoid being convicted by the police. They meet secretly to try and resolve their problems, but bigger issues are at hand: the Prophet and Forefinger are hunting for John and Cymoeba is gaining power and destroying the modern world more every day. Paul, after finding John in a secret hideout, is killed trying to protect him from Forefingers deadly assault. In his final moments, Paul reveals that he loves a woman named Susan, and that he sent her an important message. As authorities arrive at the house, John pretends to be unconscious. He overhears that the reporting officer from the FBI, Susan, will be handling the case. He gets caught and is interrogated by her, but eventually she figures a way to ask him about Paul. He relays that he had an important message for her and knows that she must get John to a specialized computer base for the greater good of the world. The two arrive at the Cronus Supercomputer Center after a Global shutdown of the internet where Cymoeba survived. Using his intense computer intelligence, John engineers a "Poison Bait" to attack Cymoeba from the inside out. As the plan to attack Cymoeba with the "Poison Bait" unfolds, the main characters of the story all make their way back to J-Cloud. It is revealed that Hansen, the adjutant to General Brown, is The Prophet. General Brown dies after being shot protecting Audrey and John. John outsmarts The Prophet and figures out the source code needed to successfully defeat Cymoeba. Meanwhile, only a few floors above them, Susan meets Forefinger and the two fight. Susan's high heel shoe ends up in Forefinger's eye in the final kick of the battle and she flees. When all is finally settled down, Audrey and John finally have some time together. At lunch one day they are interrupted by a message for Audrey that she must report to the police station. It turns out this was a set up for John to be left alone to talk to Shen and Wang Jin about "philosophy". During this scene, Gavin Hawk is meeting with a prisoner in containment.
