Official synopsis Publisher
A thrilling struggle for sanity and survival in a world where the mind is all that matters, Brain in a Jar takes you on a journey beyond imagination that will leave you questioning what it means to be human.
“A creepy look at a sterile future… completely original.” -Jessica Nolff, Amazon reviewer
The last thing Alder remembers is dying. Before his accident, he was living in the shadows of the secretive, self-sustaining city-states known as towers. When he wakes, he’s in a tower-as a brain in a jar, a test subject trapped in a dark and lonely world. The only person he can trust-maybe-is Nikaya, the scientist assigned to run tests and install his upgrades.
But the tower’s sovereign is doing something to their minds…or, perhaps, has already done it. Alder may not know everything, but he knows he needs to protect Nikaya from the force that surrounds and fills them both. Desperate for sanity and for survival, Nikaya and Alder must escape now or be trapped forever.
Brain in a Jar is a nuanced-and frightening-look at transhumanism, artificial intelligence, and the psychological limits of human emotion.
“I haven’t read anything like it hands down.” -Hugo N. Saravia, Goodreads reviewer
