An FBI agent hunts a new kind of terrorist through a Washington, DC, of the
future in this groundbreaking book—at once a gripping techno-thriller and a fact-based tour of tomorrow.
America is on the brink of a revolution, one both technological and political.
The science fiction of AI and robotics has finally come true, but millions are angry
and fearful that the future has left them behind. After narrowly stopping a bombing
at Washington’s Union Station, FBI Special Agent Lara Keegan receives a new
assignment: to field-test an advanced police robot. As a series of shocking catastrophes
unfolds, the two find themselves investigating a conspiracy whose mastermind is using
cutting-edge tech to rip the nation apart. To stop this new breed of terrorist, their only
hope is to forge a new type of partnership.
Burn-In is especially chilling because it is something more than a pulse-pounding
read: every tech, trend, and scene is drawn from real-world research on the ways that
our politics, our economy, and even our family lives will soon be transformed. Blending
a techno-thriller’s excitement with nonfiction’s insight, Singer and Cole illuminate the
darkest corners of the world soon to come.
