Description
"This hugely ambitious work of contemporary realism offers a dramatic warning about the influence of digital culture."
-- Booklist
Joe Chayefski has got what he always wanted: a reputation as one of America's top neuroscientists, a beautiful wife and two perfect daughters. But his carefully created idyll is threatened when his Baltimore neuroscience lab is targeted by animal rights activists. The attack is followed by a phone call from Joe's ex-wife in Finland. Two decades have passed since he abandoned Alina and their young son, Samuel, returning to America to advance his career. Now Samuel is somewhere in the States, and Alina fears he is looking for revenge.
As Joe struggles to protect his new family from the increasing threat of violence – and to save his eldest daughter from the clutches of an unscrupulous tech company – he is forced to reconsider his priorities and take drastic action to save those he loves.

I got sucked into this book right away. While reading there was always a feeling that I was missing something important. This feeling got me going through the book, and made me unable to let it go. The ending was so full of suspense that I had to pry the book out of my own hands.
The language could be a little bit easier to read, but only because I would like to read the book faster. It is absolutely a book to read if one like books which quickly build suspense and wondering.
One part of the book was strange to me. This was all the talk of the iAm device. Either I missed something or it was completely irrelevant for the story. These parts only confused me, and seemed to take the story a step back rather than forward.
