About This Book

A mountain-sized mechanical brain housed in a desert installation is brought online and draws together technicians, medics, and a remote scientist; their transport and the facility's clinical trappings frame a sequence of invasive experiments. Medical staff use teletactile rays and visual projections to trigger subconscious reactions and to record spontaneous mental imagery, while the narrative traces human responses to mechanized mind-probing and the tension between technological control and individual subjectivity.
