Annotation: Neuro-headsets. The absolute latest in computer technology. They link your mind with your computer. So, if a hacker can infiltrate your computer, who's to say you can't get brainjacked?
Recommend: Yes
Convince us to read the book: I would say that it is an eerily realistic (if slightly post-apocolyptic) future, where we have the technology to plug our minds into our computers. As usual when dealing with technology-laden futures, there are unforeseen complications that make for a (nerd-tastic!) action-packed book.
Compelling Aspect of the Book: I most liked the fact that for a good deal of the book, all the action was dramatized computer hacking. Maybe I'm just a nerd, but I really liked that.
Cover: I like the galley cover better than the official one, even though they're basically the same. The
galley cover is like the reverse of the one that they're going with. I think that the green pops more on the black than the black pops on the green.
