London has been upgraded. So have its nightmares.The year is 2045. Almost 30 years have passed since a devastating nuclear terrorist attack on London. Mother Mind - an advanced artificial intelligence created by the Virtualife Corporation - now monitors British Citizens 24/7. The boundaries between machines and humans have blurred. The gap between rich and poor has widened. The human race is diminishing and cybernetically-enhanced Transhumans are growing rapidly.The flames of rebellion are rising though; spurred on by an enigmatic hacker group known as Spiritform. But, after successfully infiltrating Virtualife’s network, one of Spiritform’s members falls victim to Jack-21; a prolific serial killer that has been terrorising the Transhuman population of London.Now, Virtualife hires Arthur Wells – a cyborg private investigator and former cyberwarfare specialist – to retrieve the data stolen by Spiritform, before the secrets within are decrypted and revealed to the world. But little does he realise that he’s falling into a deep corporate conspiracy and a whole new interpretation of a cat and mouse game.Pick this up at your peril- you will not be able to put it down once you start reading.Get Your Copy of Silicon Burning Right Now.
