Description
Brilliant scientist Joe Messenger believes that people can be made to live forever. He has devised a way of downloading the human brain into a supercomputer called ARCHIVE, which he hopes will revolutionise medicine and technology. However, his wife Karen is worried by his increasing obsession with ARCHIVE, which seems to be developing its own distinct personality. As Joe's work on ARCHIVE reaches new heights, a series of macabre accidents start to occur around him, threatening the lives of those closest to him. The consequences of his obsessions are terrifying and all too real. This gripping novel explores the darker side of human ambition and the dangers of playing God with technology. With its thought-provoking themes and genuinely frightening portrayal of the power of future communications, this is a compelling read that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
