★This intriguing piece of medical and AI science fiction is both a tribute and a cautionary tale to the near future, and a very prescient exploration of the potential link between infinite connectivity and catastrophe in a digital society.

A new technology has emerged, promising a perfect society, and resisters are not long for this world . . .

Ahead, not too many years from now, everyone has been linked to a network of government-mandated brain implants. The Interface has become a way of life, connecting all people to limitless information, nonstop personal messaging, and instantaneous news flashes. Gone are the days of cell phones and laptops—even loneliness itself is obsolete.

But when the genius behind the Interface turns against his own creation and threatens to unleash a deadly electronic brain virus on the public, the fate of the world falls on NYPD Captain Yara Avril, who must stop this sinister, ever-escalating plot before it’s too late. A thrilling nod to a future waiting just around the corner, The Interface is a remarkably prescient exploration of the potential links between boundless connection and cataclysmic disaster in digital society.
