An FBI agent hunts a new kind of terrorist through a Washington, DC, of the future in this ground-breaking book--at once a gripping technothriller and a fact-based tour of tomorrow.

America is on the brink of a revolution, one both technological and political.

As a series of shocking catastrophes unfolds, the two find themselves investigating a conspiracy whose mastermind is using cutting-edge tech to rip the nation apart. With every tech, trend, and scene drawn from real-world research, Burn-In blends a techno-thriller's excitement with nonfiction's insight to illuminate the darkest corners of the world soon to come.
