Lock In

Více o knize

In a near-future world, a highly contagious virus leads to a condition known as "Lock In," where victims are fully aware but unable to move. This affliction affects a diverse population, resulting in nearly five million cases in the U.S. alone. Twenty-five years later, rookie FBI agent Chris Shane teams up with seasoned agent Leslie Vann to investigate a murder at the Watergate Hotel linked to Haden's syndrome. The primary suspect is an "integrator," someone who allows the locked-in to temporarily use their bodies, complicating the case significantly. As Shane and Vann delve deeper into the investigation, they uncover a mystery that extends far beyond a simple murder. The evolving world of those affected by Lock In presents new opportunities that some will pursue at any cost. Their journey takes them from corporate corridors to the virtual realms inhabited by the locked-in, revealing a burgeoning and unexpected human culture. The case transforms into a broader exploration of ambition, identity, and the consequences of a society adapting to profound change.
