In a world where everyone is linked to a network of government-mandated brain implants called the Interface, the brilliant mind behind it turns against his own creation, threatening to unleash a deadly electronic brain virus on the public, and it’s up to NYPD Captain Yara Avril to save humankind.
"Interface is a thriller set in the near future, in this case in a world where everyone is linked 24/7 in an information stream carried by brain implants (imagine our present-day Internet and social media on steroids). The book can be read as a critique of social media addiction, or as an exploration of the way technology changes society, government and even human nature. The plot is kicked into motion when Taiki Graf, the genius behind the Interface system, turns against his own creation, viewing it as destructive to the human spirit. He devises a fatal brain virus, called a prion, that can be transmitted through the Interface, and which he intends to unleash on the public to blackmail everyone into ditching their implants. A former lover of his, Yara Avril, now a captain with the NYPD, tries to stop him. Complications mount as Taiki methodically tests his electronic virus, step by step, precipitating an ever-accelerating sequence of madness and mass murder"--
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 Gone are the days of cell phones and laptops—even loneliness itself is obsolete.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.
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.
