"2035: Robotic technology has evolved into the realm of
self-aware, sentient mechanical entities. The future of the
human race is to be inevitably linked with its most
brilliant creation. But there are some who do not want the
future to arrive.... Intelligent and driven, Dr. Susan
Calvin is beginning her residency in psychiatry at Manhattan
Hasbro teaching hospital, where a select group of patients
is receiving the latest in diagnostic
advancements--nanotechnology. Tiny nanobots injected into
the spinal fluid can locate and assess neural pathways and
transmitters, unlocking and mapping the physiological
workings of the human mind.
The possibilities for such groundbreaking technology are
almost endless. Soon Susan begins to notice an ominous chain
of events surrounding the patients. They begin exhibiting
extreme behavior, from shocking violence to baffling
self-destructive tendencies. And when she tries to alert her
superiors to the situation, she is met with callous

any controversy or scrutiny for the sake of their own
agenda. But what no one knows is that a technology that
promised to improve life is now under the control of those
who seek to spread only death..."--
