Book description
Imagine a drug that made your brain function with perfect
efficiency, tapping into your deepest resources of creativity,
intelligence and drive. A drug that can help you learn a foreign
language in a day. A drug that can help you process information so
fast you can see patterns in the stock market. Just as his life is
fading into mediocrity, Eddie Spinola discovers such a pill: MDT-48,
Viagra for the brain. But while the benefits of such a mind-drug
quickly start to materialise, so too do the side-effects. And when
Eddie tries to track down other users, to help him kick his addiction,
he finds out that they're all dying, or dead...
