It's 25 years in the future and augmenting human intelligence is a reality thanks to new technology. Some in power think this is a good thing and want to use it for control and power over others. Others in power want to do anything necessary to halt it and the progress of science. Caught in the middle is Kade, a young scientist on the cutting edge of the new tech. He just wants everyone to get along and help humankind. It's a fun, fast paced story that does get one thinking about what it means to be human and the role of technology in our lives. I plan on reading the sequel(s).
