.hack//AI buster (Japanese: .hack//AI buster, Hepburn: .hack//AI buster) is a light novel set after the events detailed in Epitaph of Twilight novels and before the events of SIGN. The story follows the player character Albireo as he tries to solve what he thinks to be a strange in-game event.
The second volume is a collection of stories, including a retelling of the events of AI buster from the perspective of Hokuto, a follow up to those events from the perspective of Albireo, the aftereffects of those events on Kamui, and two unrelated stories who follow characters from the Legend of the Twilight manga. Some of the stories were featured in other publications before being published in this volume.
Both the English and Japanese releases stylize the title as .hack//AI buster with a lowercase "b."
