Science Fiction | Mystery
New York City, the next decade: terrorism is more
threatening than ever; skyscrapers are a cherished,
defiant statement; underground concourses have multiplied
because of the sense of security they provide; law
enforcement and civil liberties groups clash over the
proper boundary between public safety and personal
freedom. That's the tenor of the times when NYPD forensic
detective Dr. Phil D'Amato is called in to investigate an
urgent case - squirrels missing from Central Park.
It sounded like a joke, but Phil soon discovers it's
anything but. A new telecom technology can put implants
into the brains of living squirrels to translate what they
are seeing into computer-viewable images. But who's behind
this surveillance breakthrough? Federal agencies or
terrorists? Phil's latest adventure pits personal loyalties against
public responsibilities, privacy against freedom, security
against animal rights, all against a backdrop of a near-
future, post-9/11 New York City that is completely
recognizable, even with its new generation of advanced
cellular phones, free-standing holograms, tunneling
technologies, transport systems, and forensic computers.
The Pixel Eye offers a vision of a future we may all soon
be living in.
