A neural chip capable of digitising the human consciousness? Technological immortality? Look at how the super-rich are already behaving… of course governments and polycorps will kill for it!
Eric Thorne had an almost idyllic life; a thriving tech business, a big house on Manhattan Beach, and a reputation as one of the world’s leading wetware engineers.
But all that changes when a woman he doesn’t know shows up on his doorstep telling him he’s been abducted, that his consciousness is immersed in a looping digital prison — and his old pal, the billionaire he’d been helping, was responsible…
… and that’s just the tip of the mind-bending madness that unfolds over the following 24 hours. Because although Eric doesn’t know it yet, he’s become the unwitting focus of several seperate plots underpinned by corporate greed and political ambition.
But as killers and thieves with differing orders, priorities and allegiances pursue the hapless wetware specialist through both digital and physical realities, not everything, including Eric himself, is necessarily what it seems.
If you’re a fan of original cyberpunk or technothriller science fiction, and love the books of William Gibson, Walter Jon Williams, Philip K Dick and Rudy Rucker or their modern variations by authors like Blake Crouch, Neal Asher and Daniel Suarez — this tense, action-packed technothriller IS PERFECT FOR YOU!
