A new technology has emerged, promising a perfect society, and resisters are not long for this world . . .
Ahead, not too many years from now, everyone has been linked to a network of government-mandated brain implants. The Interface has become a way of life, connecting all people to limitless information, nonstop personal messaging, and instantaneous news flashes. Gone are the days of cell phones and laptops―even loneliness itself is obsolete.
But when the genius behind the Interface turns against his own creation and threatens to unleash a deadly electronic brain virus on the public, the fate of the world falls on NYPD Captain Yara Avril, who must stop this sinister, ever-escalating plot before it’s too late. A thrilling nod to a future waiting just around the corner, Interface is a remarkably prescient exploration of the potential links between boundless connection and cataclysmic disaster in digital society.

Scott Britz-Cunningham, MD, PhD, is a board-certified nuclear medicine physician who holds academic appointments at the University of Massachusetts and Harvard Medical School. His scientific articles have been published in The New England Journal of Medicine, The Journal of Nuclear Medicine, Cancer, and The Journal of Virology. He is the author of two other novels: Code White (Forge Books) and The Immortalist (Simon & Schuster). In his spare time, he performs with the New England Digital Accordion Orchestra and practices Shotokan karate. He and his wife, Evelyn―an artist and art therapist―live in Worcester, Massachusetts. Their grown son, Alex, lives in Maine.
Imagine non-stop personal messaging, carried on silently and invisibly. Limitless access to information. News flashes updated by the second. A permanent video record of every moment one has ever lived. Great thinkers on call for advice any hour of the day or night. Concerts, plays, films, gallery exhibits, even walking tours of every great city—all as vivid as life. Loneliness itself has been abolished.
This is the promise of The Interface.
