Life is chemistry, and one new chemical is about to change everything.
He always knew he should be the smartest man alive, an intellect to match his wealth. When two beautiful women offer him a drug to epic-level his brain, he finally has the chance to make it real and to live the classic scifi novels that inspired him. And damn the consequences, for he knows the Techno-Capitalist Singularity is nigh. He is Andries Steytler. He will be Subject Sigma.
They were just trying to live in a game rigged against them, a society more interested in their bodies than their brains. But when two broke young biochemists discover the most powerful nootropic in history, they'll seize their chance. And just maybe they'll be able to save the world from the looming apocalypse. No, not that looming apocalypse, the other one.
Together they'll weave a sordid tale of money, sex, and science as they dive into The World at the End of the Mind.
