About the Book
Another terrifying sci-fi page-turner from the author of The Tomorrow Code!
Las Vegas is gone-destroyed in a terrorist attack. Black Hawk
helicopters patrol the skies over New York City. And immersive online
gaming is the most dangerous street drug around. In this dystopic
near-future, technology has leapt forward once again, and neuro-headsets have replaced computer keyboards. Just slip on a headset, and it's the
Internet at the speed of thought.
For teen hacker Sam Wilson, a headset is a must. But as he becomes familiar with the new technology,
he has a terrifying realization. If anything on his computer is
vulnerable to a hack, what happens when his mind is linked to the
system? Could consciousness itself be hijacked? Before he realizes
what's happened, Sam's incursion against the world's largest
telecommunications company leads him to the heart of the nation's
cyberdefense network and brings him face to face with a terrifying and
unforeseen threat.
Brian Falkner, author of The Tomorrow Code, has created an action-packed and thought-provoking science fiction
adventure in which a brilliant young computer hacker fights to prevent
the human race from being deleted.
Fans of Cory Doctorow's Little Brother and M. T. Anderson's Feed will love this high-octane techno thriller.
