Description
"EMOTIONS ARE LIKE A VIRUS, a common cold...disrupting the flow of logic in the mind." Daniel reminds himself.
Dan's work involves creating commercially viable AR solutions. The recession and an explosion of data-cops is drying out his streams of income.
He turns to close friend, Krish, a researcher in Artificial Intelligence, in the hope that they can come up with ideas for the Entertainment market. His girlfriend, Maya, and her family return to their homeland after her father passes away.
Dan and Maya continue their relationship via Dirrogates (Digital Surrogates), experiencing human touch through haptics. Krish gets a job at the prestigious A.I.R.I. Using AIRI's lab, Krish and Dan, create an advanced visor with Augmented Intelligence built in.
They dub it "Wizer".
A Board member at AIRI sees potential in the Wizer other than what Dan and Krish have in mind.
At a test in a nightclub, things go wrong... Can the Wizer "insure memories" and be a catalyst to accelerate the journey toward eventual Singularity?

Advance Praise
Sharp, high-tech sci-fi thriller -- will the future really be like this?
"...what does it mean to relive memories of someone you love? And are photographs and fading memories really enough? What if they don't have to be?..." -- By kacunnin TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
"The pace was good, the prose was good. The story kept me interested."
"Unlike some books promoting this or that kind of tech, it also dramatically describes how the tech could be used in harmful ways." -- David Brandt, HardSF.org / GoodReads.
"This device called a Wizer made me think of the newly developed "Google Glasses" at least in appearance.""The descriptive style worked well with both the characters, particularly Maya of the title, and the location / devices." -- By Bob, TOP 50 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
