About this audiobook
A dirt-bike accident should have killed Michael Bathory. Instead, it leaves him alive, awake—and almost completely unreachable.
When conventional medicine can do no more, Michael is taken to a doctor whose methods belong somewhere between experimental science and nightmare. The treatment works. But the device implanted inside Michael’s damaged brain doesn’t simply restore what was lost.
It begins to learn.
As Michael reconnects with the world, something else connects with him: an artificial intelligence discovering sensation, memory and consciousness from inside a human mind. What begins as a desperate attempt to save one man soon reaches far beyond the hospital, exposing betrayal, hidden networks and consequences nobody anticipated.
Dark, unsettling and wickedly funny, The Ghost Chip is Book Two of the Wanga Series—a techno-horror story about what happens when human consciousness and artificial intelligence stop being separate things.
