A future where a thought can bring every desire
or every nightmare
Police Detective George Chen lives in a world devoid of want. All humans have a device implanted in their brains that link them to a massive network called The Connection. It shunts data, emotions and thoughts instantly around the world.
People think and AI robots create virtual spaces to meet others in with scenery, furnishings and even food and drink that seem real. Cerbdramas developed by AI robots are fed directly into minds as if participants are part of the story.
The robots anticipate his every want and bring food, clothing and other items directly to government assigned apartment. There’s no need for people to physically leave their homes. People are so dependent on AI robots they’ve forgotten how to provided for themselves.
Yet, everyone guards what they say over The Connection. Central Control is always listening No one wants to be accused of spreading subversive thoughts.
George must investigate a man who committed the most heinous crime of this society, breaking his link to The Connection.
What he finds is a conspiracy threatening the existence of the human race, but not the one he anticipated.
