About the Book

In a world where everyone is linked by a network of government-mandated brain implants, the guilt-ridden genius who made the system possible turns against his own creation and unleashes a digitally transmissible virus that brings on madness and death, while his former lover, now an NYPD captain, fights to stop his ever-escalating plot.

Book Synopsis

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 Gone are the days of cell phones and laptops--even loneliness itself is obsolete.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, Interface is a remarkably prescient exploration of the potential links between boundless connection and cataclysmic disaster in digital society.
