    About this ebook

    Virtual Reality technology is poised to remake the computing landscape and terraform your mind. Enter PsyBot, the AI bug that shows up on the user side of the interface.

    With instructions to kill and a baffling menu of choices, programmer Joe Norton's all-too-ordinary life in Philadelphia is coming apart at the seams. Is the only way out, to go further in?

    Never mind that one shaky relationship gives way to another, or that his job is jeopardized by a corporate buyout. Norton has another mission to attend to as he discovers that virtual reality is not confined to hardware.

    A visionary dive into into the slipstream of emerging transhumanist technologies and agendas, PsyBot exposes a dark underworld of mind-control black ops.

    Reviewers find this noir thriller "surreal, bizarre"; featuring "fascinating, three-dimensional characters" and "beautiful, unique prose, blurring genre and literary fiction."

    PsyBot explores the limits of free will, personal transformation and the "very nature of reality in this post-digital age."

      I was very confused through the whole book. Normally a short book like this would take me a couple days. This book took over a week. I was having to reread and still not understand what was happening. I could get into the characters at all or the storyline and by the end I was almost wishing I was the intended target of the hit in the book. the only part I really understood. I hate giving bad reviews but I'm supposed to be honest. It was just not a good read for me.

      I really wanted to like this book, but it just didn't work for me. I liked the book's description and it's possible plot lines, that is why I gave it a shot. I just didn't feel like the characters were believable. I felt as though it was a very large LSD trip and could have been so much better. I found it was hard to follow along, and this may have been the author's intention, if so then he succeeded in that aspect. I would have given higher ratings, but just like I said before it was too disjointed and hard to become invested in characters who I didn't feel realistic or convincing. Author exchanged copy of the book for an honest review.
