"Can the human brain be hacked?"

Fresh Fiction Review

Hacker
Ted Dekker

Reviewed by Debbie Wiley
Posted October 29, 2014

Science Fiction

Seventeen year old Nyah Parks is desperate... and she's willing to use her skills as a hacker in order to help her mom. She needs $250,000 to get her mom into a privately funded program to help with her brain damage. Hacking BlakBox in hopes they will then hire her seems like the answer to Nyah's financial problem. Unfortunately, everything goes wrong and now Nyah is in hiding. An old friend offers her hope, even as he introduces her to the strange new concept of hacking the human brain. Will Nyah and Austin learn the secret of "deditio" (surrender)?

HACKER is the third book in The Outlaw Chronicles but can easily be read as a standalone. Ted Dekker takes readers into new territory as we delve deep into the workings of the human brain. HACKER is compelling, even as some of the choices Nyah makes horrify me. Her desperation leads her into exploring a world that I can't even begin to fathom.

Ted Dekker once again pushes the boundaries and crafts a tale that is wildly imaginative but strangely believable. HACKER is suspenseful and a tad bit creepy at times. Readers who like their stories with a technological twist will thoroughly appreciate Ted Dekker's HACKER.

SUMMARY

My name is Nyah and I'm a hacker. I know things most people would never believe. Things that shouldn't exist, but do.

Seventeen year old Nyah Parks is a genius hacker who makes a living by cracking the firewalls of the world's largest corporations. But when the biggest job of her life goes wrong she's plunged into a desperate situation with only one way out: one last hack that will either save her or kill her.

So begins Hacker, a modern day parable that examines the staggering world around us, the seen and unseen, and reminds us that there's far more to who we are than meets the eye.
