Review: INTERFACED By Emerson DoeringI am so impressed. My first intro into the techno-thriller genre and my mind is blown! Doering is a marvel with this take on brain-machine interfacing.Kristen is a triple amputee, from a car accident, and is the perfect candidate for a ground breaking experiment with prosthetic limbs that are controlled by the brain using wireless technology, allowing her to move those limbs as naturally as she would other parts of her body.But there are people who want to use her and her new improvements for their own gain and make her life a living hell.This had such a good, realistic storyline that was executed brilliantly. I felt as though I was Kristen, and was experiencing everything along with her; the good, the bad and the ugly. I also got insight into other main character's minds, which wasn't always pleasant, but helped the story flow, and lead me to all different conclusions.The whole military aspect was excellent and ringed of experience but it was also terrifying, especially if this kind of technology ever comes to fruition. Oh and as far as the technology talk, I'm no Stephen Hawking, but I was able to keep up with it all! Go me! Another credit to the author!The amount of research involved in the making of this novel is commendable. The references used, which are listed at the end of the book, just show how dedicated the author was to delivering a grippingly realistic story.With it's clever twists, keeping me on the edge of my seat and wishing for Kristen's ordeal to end, I highly recommend Interfaced to anyone that is looking for something gripping and hard to put down. I'd say it's a mix up of RoboCop vs Carrie. #Winning!
