Book excerpt: Valko can see the last moments of a victim's life. It comes at a price — a scrap of flesh cut from his brain and replaced with an implant. Bound to a drug that lets him use his insight, but brings with it the pain of synthetic emotion, he's at war with himself. Now a killer has found a way to hide from him and two people are dead. Someone wants to keep their secrets buried. The trail leads out into the wasteland where death flies on the wind as nanotech dust. Manipulated and betrayed, Valko must get to the truth before his time runs out. If he only knew who to trust, maybe he'd have a chance, but a man with an artificial soul can't even trust himself …

Download or read book Hold On written by Peter Toohey and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2020-06-02 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do you do when you're not asleep and when you're not eating? You're most likely waiting--to finish work, to get home, or maybe even to be seen by your doctor. Hold On is less about how to manage all that "staying where one is until a particular time or event" (OED) than it is about describing how we experience waiting. Waiting can embrace things like hesitation and curiosity, dithering and procrastination, hunting and being hunted, fearing and being feared, dread and illness, courting and parenting, anticipation and excitement, curiosity, listening to and even performing music, being religious, being happy or unhappy, being bored and being boring. They're all explored here. Waiting is also characterized by brain chemicals such as serotonin and dopamine. They can radically alter the way we register the passing of time. Waiting is also the experience that may characterize most interpersonal relations--mismanage it at your own risk. Hold On contains advice on how to cope with waiting-how to live better-but its main aim is to show how important the experience of waiting is, in popular and highbrow culture, and, sometimes, in history. Detouring into psychology, neurology, ethology, philosophy, film, literature, and especially art, Peter Toohey's illuminates in unexpected ways one of the most common of human experiences. After reading his book, you'll never wait the same way again.
