The story appears to be set in the not too distant future
where the internet is a couple of generations evolved. The main character is in danger, but he does
not know why. He also has complete amnesia. When I first started reading the book, I thought
of the movie Enemy of the State with Will Smith. In no time at all the hero discovers that he
has the ability to surf the internet inside his head and the power to read
minds. He uses this mind reading power to survive
repeated attempts to kill him. He stumbles
around searching for how he got the abilities he possesses and why he is the target
of so many trained assassins. The story evolves into a mental chess game
between the arch villain, the US military, and the hero of the story.
The author examines the issue of the impact of mind reading
and mental web surfing presenting both pros and cons. I enjoyed reading the book, but found that I did
not think about it when I was not reading.
I found the motivation of the arch villain a little thin. Over all I would recommend the book.
