At the turn of the century, a technology was created which allowed people's thoughts to be monitored as electromagnetic wavelengths and frequencies.

After a wave of mass arrests, a world of convenience and security materializes...

It is now 2051. The place, Seattle. An ordered world is about to get shaken up.

From Publishers Weekly

In Joshua Ortega's first novel, ((Frequencies)), the citizens of the technologized nations of A.D. 2051 can have bio-"gengineered" body parts and modems in their brains, but jaded Agent McCready, whose job is to investigate frequency emissions violations, prefers 20th-century sensibilities. When he signs on to protect the family of a wealthy tech-magnate, he gets more than he bargained for: skeletons (or clones) in the closet, the magnate's beautiful daughter, potentially lethal informational infections, life-threatening danger and a cherry 1957 Chevy.
