Always being connected to technology is nothing new for Daj, a young Maglan who dreams of flying. With constant access to vid streams, friends, fans, and everything digital, there's nothing else he needs. When he stumbles upon an anti-tech group, however, he begins to see the other side of a world controlled by technology. Skywatch is set on a distant planet where technology rules in the form of nanotechnology called "Nanosite." Nanosite, or the 'site, allows users to be constantly connected to each other as well as being the conduit for different types of physical upgrades.
