Alif is the online name of an Arab-Indian hacker young man, sort of a middle to lower class inhabitant of Dubai. After a breakup, he gets in way over his head trying to make a tool to make himself invisible to his ex (was she really his ex or just the first person he got to experience sexually?) and has to involve some shady underworld/paranomal folk to help him get it sorted. He’s being chased by someone powerful in the Dubai/UAE government who is also a highly capable hacker and spends some time in this world and... another. Lively and from a perspective I rarely see.
