Description
In 2034 Atlanta, brain-computer interfaces connect everyone-until a mysterious epidemic turns users violent, then emotionally dead. When nurse Phoebe's brother becomes infected, she partners with Mila, a programmer who can't use the technology she codes. Their investigation uncovers a corporate conspiracy using neural implants for mind control. Hunted by corporate mercenaries and framed as terrorists, they must expose the truth before millions more fall victim. But in a world where connection means vulnerability, can two isolated women trust each other enough to save humanity?
Absence of Mind is a technothriller and the second book by near-future science-fiction author H.C.H. Ritz. If you've enjoyed books like Daemon and Freedom(TM) by Daniel Suarez, Neuromancer by William Gibson, or Feed by M. T. Anderson, you'll love this exciting, fast-paced, and compelling story.
