New York Times **bestselling author Steven Kotler's follow up to
Last Tango in Cyberspace, a near-future thriller about the evolution
of empathy in the tradition of William Gibson and Neal Stephenson.
**
Hard to say exactly when the human species fractured. Harder to say when
this new talent arrived. But Lion Zorn, protagonist of Last Tango in
Cyberspace, is the first of his kind--an empathy tracker, an emotional
forecaster, with a felt sense for how culture evolves and the future
arrives.
It's also a useful skill in today's competitive business market.
In The Devil's Dictionary, when a routine em-tracking job goes
sideways and em-trackers themselves start disappearing, Lion finds
himself not knowing who to trust in a life and death race to uncover the
truth. And when the trail leads to the world's first mega-linkage, a
continent-wide national park advertised as the best way to stave off
environmental collapse, and exotic animals unlike any on Earth start
showing up--Lion's quest for truth becomes a fight for the survival of
the species.
Packed with intrigue and heart-pounding action, marked by unforgettable
characters and vivid storytelling, filled with science-based brilliance
and cult comic touches, The Devil's Dictionary is Steven Kotler at his
thrilling science fiction best.
