Alan Fisher was a young engineer with a dream of deriving morality from the laws of physics. But he got more than he bargained for when he accidentally discovered a shocking possibility: that not all people are conscious.
Now he and an emergency team at DARPA must find the answers - and the cure - before the world implodes in a hotbed of prejudice and fear, and the powerful, greedy, and racist exploit his discovery to risk evil beyond imagining.
"A tense and often disturbing near-future thriller that examines science, discrimination, and just how thin society's veneer of acceptance and tolerance really is. A gripping and entertaining read." -- J.V. Bolkan for IndieReader (4.6 rating)
