Book excerpt: In the year 2029, people are allowing neural implants known as chips to be inserted into their foreheads. Marketed as a medical device that will prevent disease and provide health benefits, the chip also tracks everything we see and do. In an Internet of Things world, the chip is celebrated for curing disease and creating unlimited virtual realities. An underground resistance group is working to expose a government plan designed to hack into citizens' brains via the chip and control their thoughts. The group recruits Nick Winston, a young tech executive, to go undercover in the government's newest agency, BrainShare, and find evidence that will expose the truth. Nick slowly descends into a whistleblower's worst nightmare, walking a dangerous tightrope-each action becoming a choice to save his own life or save his society.Code 44 thrusts us into a dystopian future, not too far off, where the merging of man and machine unravels to show how the subtle erosion of a free society creates the ultimate fight between individual privacy and the national good.
