Until now, Tom has suffered the slings and arrows of an average man with an average life: a failed marriage, a bitter ex-wife, and estranged best friend and two children whom he desperately wants to shield from an ever more chaotic world.
He arrived at Columbia University's Psychology Department expecting another day of tedious preparations for the upcoming academic year. He finds the FBI instead, who show him a video that will overthrow his entire life.
His best friend, Neil, has spent years as a government neuroscientist, helping the NSA interrogate suspects using invasive surgical techniques - 'tweaking', they call it. Convinced that love and meaning are nothing more than phantoms of the brain, he has embarked on a spree of killings and mutilations that beggar the imagination. And the FBI wants Tom to apprehend him.
Neuropath delves into the mysteries of the self, using the most recent, most alarming discoveries in consciousness research to weave a tale that is as troubling - spiritually, intellectually - as it is gripping.
This remarkable thriller will show you that you are not what you think you are.
