A Classic Cyberpunk Thriller of Wireheading Addiction, Neural Memory Wiping, and Conspiracies

In a near-future Nova Scotia, former college professor Joe Miller saves Karen, a young woman suffering from severe addiction to "wireheading"—direct electrical stimulation of the brain's pleasure centers. As Karen recovers, she reveals that her brother, Norman, a professional thief, has vanished after uncovering a secret organization utilizing neural tech.

Investigating Norman's disappearance, Joe and Karen discover "wirehead" devices are being weaponized alongside "mindkiller" technology—a secret neural system capable of selectively erasing human memories and reprogramming political targets. Racing against corporate operatives, the duo must dismantle the network before their own identities are wiped.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Hugo and Nebula Award-winner Spider Robinson crafts a seminal cyberpunk thriller exploring technological addiction and neural ethics. A landmark read for fans of William Gibson, Philip K. Dick, and Neal Stephenson.
