The story explores themes of consciousness, identity, and the implications of advanced neuroscience as it follows the journey of Mel Carlson, a man whose consciousness survives after the destruction of his physical body. The book delves into the moral and ethical questions surrounding the manipulation of the human mind and the boundaries of science. The plot unfolds as Mel, a brilliant scientist, finds himself trapped in a lab after a disastrous accident, with his brain kept alive and connected to a mechanical system. His former partner, Neil, seeks to exploit Mel's intelligence for profit, while Mel grapples with his new existence devoid of a physical form. As he discovers his ability to project his thoughts and exert control over others and various devices, Mel plots his revenge and aims to reclaim his autonomy. The narrative culminates in a tense confrontation between Mel and Neil, revealing the dangers of unchecked ambition and the complexity of human cognition. Ultimately, Mel's journey transforms from one of victimhood to empowerment, raising questions about the essence of being and the future of humanity.
