The Last Network: A Techno Thriller
Rabbit Wilson, a troubled founder with a dark past, finally has the opportunity to build his dream company. He brings teleportation to life, just not in the way you think, and unleashes Peared, a powerful social network that lets users control each other.
The problem is, Rabbit can barely control himself.
Peared's breakout success catches the attention of the most important man in Silicon Valley, Peter Thorn. The billionaire investor sees the power of teleportation and has to have it. Only Rabbit is not the sharing type. As a dirty fight for control engulfs Peared, its growing power tempts everyone around it.
Finally freed from science fiction, will teleportation transform society or ruin lives?
Set in near future California, The Last Network is a techno thriller where power, greed, and control collide in a high stakes battle for a dangerous new technology. This chilling look into the dark side of the startup world peers into a future where founders lack the morals to manage their powerful inventions and companies teeter on the edge of chaos.
Who will suffer when a product that can control lives gets caught in a vicious battle of egos?
The Last Network is the debut novel from entrepreneur and product designer, Chris Furlong. A co-founder of Mint Mobile and Ultra Mobile, his personal experience starting the fastest growing company in America (#1 on the 2015 Inc. 5000), drives gripping black noir with authentic insight into startup growth, product design, and boardroom battles.
His debut novel draws inspiration from authors across genres including Neal Stephenson, Michael Lewis, and Tom Clancy.
