Hemolink (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798187708895)

The Link was supposed to end loneliness.

A quiet implant, keyed to the blood, broadcasts what you feel before you can find words for it. No more lying, no more guessing. Nobody asks what's wrong anymore, because everybody already knows. Emotion has become signal, and signal has become property: measured by the Council, tuned by protocol, and sold back to the people who produce it.

Jonathan Freewell lectures to auditoriums that never speak. Juno, trained to listen to other people's feelings, has gone silent and off the grid. Kael follows a pulse through dead tunnels that should not carry one. And beneath the network's calibrated calm, something called Phantom has begun to whisper on frequencies the Council cannot read.

They were never supposed to meet. When they do, in the ruin where the first signal fractured, they will have to decide what feeling is worth when it is no longer private, and what it costs to take it back.

Your blood will speak for you. The question is who is listening.

For readers of Severance, Silo, and Black Mirror. A standalone near-future science fiction novel.
