About the Book

In the 23rd century, the Earth's surface is devastated by global warming, and corporations exploit billions of poverty-stricken employees whose lifetime contracts they own...Richter Jedes, the rich powerful CEO of ZahlenBank, wants to live forever - so he makes two copies of himself. One is an evolved Artificial Intelligence imprinted with his personality. The other is a perfect clone named Dominic, whom he raises as his son.When Richter suddenly dies, his son Dominic is left to deal with a terrible crisis which threatens ZahlenBank. And though Dominic loathes the egotistical A.I. masquerading as his father, they need each other's help to save the bank.Which of them is the true copy, and which is fake? Do they have free will, or are their destinies programmed in their source code? Does individual identity still have any meaning?What is Neurolink?A new kind of bank account for storing a person's mind...Scientists are fools, boys. They keep trying to upload the human mind to a computer. Any idiot knows you can't translate brain matter into binary code. My way is easier and cheaper - and more profitable for the bank. We just record a person's life in real time. Document the memories as they happen, instead of trying to slice-and-dice neurons later. Hell, why not? ZahlenBank's cameras cover every square centimeter of this hemisphere. Video, audio, email, financial and medical history, employment records, every freakin' iota. Think of the fee we could charge!Boys, we're talking a complete digital record of perfect memories, better than real ones because time won't distort 'em. And we'll have designer packaging. Every customer gets their own portable safe deposit box in brushed platinum, branded with the ZahlenBank logo. When a customer dies, we transfer their deposit into a blank AI program. And voila! A high-resolution copy of the customer's mind rises from the dead.- Richter Jedes in NeurolinkA nano-size quantronic computer implanted in the optic nerve...A work of pure science fiction...Neurolink, the novel, explores the meaning of individual identity.On Earth in the 23rd century, executive Dominic Jedes has good looks, wealth and the future promise of his father's place as president of ZahlenBank, the only institution more powerful than the Coms. But to please his dying father, Dominic endangers his inheritance with one fatal mistake.He directs ZahlenBank to free two thousand protes, trapping them on a malfunctioning submarine. The protes are supposed to die, alleviating the bank of a costly repossessed asset. But they survive, and thrive, and other protes join their nascent rebellion-jeopardizing the fragile economic order.To set things right, Dominic must travel to the bottom of the ocean, face the people he left to die, and persuade them to surrender. The only help he has is a digital copy of his dead father, connected to him through a neural link in his optic nerve. But when Dominic starts to question whose side he's really on, that link might prove to be his greatest enemy...
