PsyBot: A Novel of Virtual Reality

By Nowick Gray

Virtual Reality technology is poised to remake the computing landscape and terraform your mind. Enter PsyBot, the AI bug that shows up on the user side of the interface.

With instructions to kill and a baffling menu of choices, programmer Joe Norton's all-too-ordinary life in Philadelphia is coming apart at the seams. Is the only way out, to go further in?

Never mind that one shaky relationship gives way to another, or that his job is jeopardized by a corporate buyout. Norton has another mission to attend to as he discovers that virtual reality is not confined to hardware.

A visionary dive into into the slipstream of emerging transhumanist technologies and agendas, PsyBotexposes a dark underworld of mind-control black ops.

Reviewers find this noir thriller "surreal, bizarre"; featuring "fascinating, three-dimensional characters" and "beautiful, unique prose, blurring genre and literary fiction." PsyBot explores the limits of free will, personal transformation and the "very nature of reality in this post-digital age."
