Devon Rosefeld's brain has been hijacked — by a grandson who doesn't exist yet.

A static-filled voice from thirty years in the future delivers a chilling warning: tech mogul Peyton Viallis, CEO of RAIN, is about to pivot from Silicon Valley darling to presidential candidate. And not if, but when she wins, her revolutionary neural chip will give her a grip on the American mind that no election can undo.

"Every time his grandson makes contact, the forces willing to kill to protect their vision of a perfect future get closer."

Stopping it means going up against one of the most powerful people in America. The deeper Devon digs into Viallis's empire, the larger the target on his back grows. And the more his grandson reaches through time to warn him, the closer they both come to the sinister forces willing to kill to create their perfect future.

Devon faces an impossible choice: stay silent and watch America sleepwalk into tyranny, or expose a conspiracy that will make him sound insane — and put him directly in the crosshairs.

For fans of Blake Crouch and Andy Weir.
