Chipped

Description

What if there were a way to become faster, stronger, smarter, better? To achieve every task you’ve ever set your mind to? What if you could finally reach your ideal weight, master any language, or kick that one bad habit that’s been standing in your way—all at the cost of a chip in your brain.

With the advent of a revolutionary neurosurgical procedure, the Chipped Program represents all of the potential that humanity can achieve—for better and worse. Originally conceived as a means of curing debilitating neurological diseases, a more insidious plot is revealed when an old shadow returns to reclaim what is rightfully his. This is the world in which Dr. Chips, a hapless dermatologist trying to do nothing more than keep his head above water, finds himself. Now he’s caught in the middle of a brewing war between those who would usher humanity into an unprecedented age of possibility, and those who would use whatever means necessary to bring the world to its knees . . .

Armed with nothing more than a sharp tongue and an irreversible addiction to gummy bears, Chips must confront these terrors head on, and maybe even give this whole saving-the-world thing a try.

Written by first-time novelist David Hott, Chipped is a gripping tale of what can happen when technology falls into the wrong hands.
