Ergebnis für "Dangerous Minds" in Technothriller

Rajeev Sundaram and his son, Dev, have escaped from Next Level Technologies, the robotics firm taken over by Gregory Maltek, the founder of competing bio-engineering firm Fresh Meat. By taking out his competition, Maltek is free to pursue world domination by building an army of superhumans and forcing every human being on Earth to purchase and occupy one of his replacement bodies - bodies over which he has complete control. Having already infiltrated the US military, Maltek appears unstoppable. But he won't take over without resistance.

The Earth's growing population has finally been controlled. Lifespans are limited to 80 years, except for those who make an extreme choice: to become a commune. Five minds sharing one body, living for four hours at a time. But with a combined lifespan of nearly 150 years. Alex, Kate, Sierra, Ben and Mike are a commune. They have already spent 25 years together, arguing, reconciling, alliances shifting and re-forming. They travel to a Death Park where games are played in which extra lifespan can be gambled like money. The plan is to win time to upgrade their next host body.

In der Zukunft hat man das Problem der explosionsartig angestiegenen Bevölkerung gelöst: Die Lebenszeit wird begrenzt, und die Menschen müssen sich frühzeitig für eine von vier Existenzformen entscheiden–zum Beispiel für einen Gemeinschaftskörper. Einen solchen teilen sich Alex, Kate, Sierra, Ben und Mike schon seit 25 Jahren. In einem virtuellen Death Park spielen sie gegen andere Teilnehmer um Lebenszeit, die wichtigste Währung dieser neuen Welt. Doch dann stellt sich heraus, dass ein Mitglied ihrer Gemeinschaft nach dem Leben der anderen trachtet. Eine nervenaufreibende Jagd beginnt.
