Static Signal Living Legacy

Two radio arrays. One signal. One mystery. Dozens of people struggling for the truth. Millions affected by the consequences. It is 2088 when the Australian and South African Radio Arrays receive a strange signal from the asteroid belt and, immediately, two research groups become involved in a world-wide effort to decipher it. While the nations scramble to hide it, radio amateurs spread a two-seconds fragment, and a group of hackers leak data into the freenet. This is a near-future, hard sci-fi story where the smallest, simplest actions have history-changing consequences.
