Denver Police Detective Jack Tate never thought that investigating a prostitute's murder would cause him to lose his identity, money, home, job and friends, especially in the mid-21st century, with its unparalleled electronic security and efficiency. The journey he must undertake to regain his life leads him to radical anti-technology terrorists and an attractive research scientist whose invention may be the motive behind the murder. Branded as a criminal, battling homelessness, and with few leads, Jack must pool his resources with unexpected allies to discover the true nature of his predicament and prepare for the ultimate confrontation.

Our world is about to change. In Digital Destiny: How the New Age of Data Will Change the Way We Live, Work, and Communicate, Shawn DuBravac, chief economist and senior director of research at the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), argues that the groundswell of digital ownership unfolding in our lives signals the beginning of a new era for humanity. Beyond just hardware acquisition, the next decade will be defined by an all-digital lifestyle and the “Internet of Everything”—where everything, from the dishwasher to the wristwatch, is not only online, but acquiring, analyzing, and utilizing the data that surrounds us. But what does this mean in practice? It means that some of mankind’s most pressing problems, such as hunger, disease, and security, will finally have a solution. It means that the rise of driverless cars could save thousands of American lives each year, and perhaps hundreds of thousands more around the planet. It means a departure from millennia-old practices, such as the need for urban centers. It means that massive inefficiencies, such as the supply chains in Africa allowing food to rot before it can be fed to the hungry, can be overcome. It means that individuals will have more freedom in action, work, health, and pursuits than ever before.

In a distant future, the world is ruled by the network. Immutable, with validators scattered across the galaxy, it synchronizes the world we know, impossible to oppone. A reign so powerfull and perfected, creating and controlling the impossible. The network regulates smart contracts and blocks, and the lives of a humanity submerged in insignificance. It is a far-off future, unknown and filled with cold darkness, akin to a saga of legends and forgotten religions. Arthur awakens in a future even more nightmarish than the darkest dystopia. He searches for his life and the keys. At first, it is the pursuit of secrets until he encounters the enigmatic Serena. It was the guardian who discovered an ancient message in the blockchain. If true, it was inconceivable and devastating. Not only could it be the end of the network, but the end of everything. An infinite legend intertwined throughout all times, written in the genesis block, and safeguarded for millennia by the chain. The origin of the puzzle, the creator, God, and the network. Does the solution lie in the past, in our time?

The physical features of teenage kids change to catch up with their brain circuits ready to take on the pre-historic hunter-gatherer roles. The goal: resource mobilisation for survival. Resource mobilisation would not only help them survive but also to earn them invisible rewards by way of positive brain chemicals and electricity. However, the post-industrialisation scenario has been quite different. Teenagers get groomed via skill- or academic development to take on economic roles latest by their mid-twenties. Such grooming strategy does not always lead to the invisible rewards which they would have earned had they been playing their pre-historic hunter-gatherer roles. Most interestingly, today’s versatile digital gadgets offer ample scope for earning brain rewards at the cost of sedentary lifestyles. The prevailing work-and-study-from-home culture has prompted the teenagers becoming dependent on digital technology and getting addicted to the gadgets for earning rewards. There is thus a new need for the parents of today’s teenagers. They must smartly lead themselves and their kids so that digital technology is utilised for their healthy all-round development thus preventing any possibility of addiction. Divided into two parts, the Part 1 of this book throws light on the realities combined with tips; and, Part 2 introduces the new concept of Brain Tools for the use of the kids and the parents, based on the author’s ongoing research on Neuro-management (NM).
