![]() ![]() ![]() However, plenty of time was also devoted to both the interesting new technologies we might come up with to help people who were locked in and the even more interesting ethical dilemmas those technologies might create. Having recently finished some long, epic fantasy audiobooks, I loved that this was a short, fast-paced thriller. This book was exactly what I was looking for. ![]() When new FBI agent Chris Shane discovers a man apparently murdered by an integrator, he must determine if anyone else was using the integrator’s body and whether someone is using integrators’ abilities to get away with an even greater crime. Technological advances allow those who are locked in to control robot-like personal transports or to borrow the bodies of “integrators”, people whose brains were rewired by the virus in a different way. Most of them become “locked in”, still alive but unable to control their bodies. ![]() Most people who get the virus either die or survive with only flu-like symptoms, but some small percentage actually have their brain rewired by the virus. Lock In occurs in a not-too-distant future in the aftermath of devastating virus. Summary: This was a fun, fast-paced thriller which explored interesting ethical dilemmas and fascinating new paths science might take.
