This chilling technological thriller finds venture capitalist Ted Valmont belatedly informed that the chief technical officer of NeuroStimix-a biotech firm in which he has invested-is missing. Valmont engages August Riordan to assist in the search and the men soon discover that the disappearance is part of a larger conspiracy to use NeuroStimix technology for perverse applications. With black-and-white photographs that add a unique aspect to this genre, this book is a sardonic study of the post dot-com world of Silicon Valley and venture capital.
