Neurotopia (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781925579833)

When government and corporations can read your thoughts, you have nowhere to hide...

Sky Marion spends her days on the Neuronet investigating thought crimes and recommending offenders for reprogramming. It's one of the few jobs you can hold down without having to talk to people, which is just the way Sky likes it. Plus, it allows Sky to indulge in one of her favorite pastimes; listening in on the thoughts of complete strangers. Is it voyeuristic? Sure. Legal? Yup. Addictive? Just ask Sky's worried mother, Winona.

But Sky's sheltered life is upended when off-world brain hackers infect over a million Earth citizens with a suicide virus, and Winona is one of the unfortunate victims. With only days until the virus destroys her mother's mind, phobia-ridden Sky must risk her life and sanity and infiltrate the lawless Moon-now the independent planet of Apollo-to track down the hackers and find the cure.

There, Sky will unravel a tapestry of deceit and betrayal, and find herself in the middle of a hidden war of civilizations, with humanity the ultimate prize. Neurotopia: Geppetto's Chains is a fast-paced science fiction thriller set in a fascinating future dominated by neurotechnology and those who would use it to control the most valuable resource known to humankind: information.

INDIE READER APPROVED (Rating 4.5): 'NEUROTOPIA: Geppetto's Chains is an exciting science fiction adventure exploring the concepts of interplanetary politics, self-sacrifice, and personal freedom, complete with a neurotic female protagonist, androids, space fights, mind control, and off-world colonies that science fiction fans will enjoy'.

MANYBOOKS REVIEW: 'Finding a good science fiction novel that doesn't just resort to lazy cliches or established tropes can be tricky, which is why Neurotopia is such a breath of fresh air for the genre. While Neurotopia starts off a little slow once the pace picks up readers are in for a wild ride. It's a thought-provoking novel and a lot of the technology featured in the story is all too plausible given the current state of the world. This book features so many great ideas and plot twists that it could easily have been turned into a trilogy. Instead, the author has managed to deliver a story that is fast-paced yet doesn't skimp on world-building and character depth.'
