Brain Jack by Brian Falkner media type="custom" key="7798595" (the widget isn't showing up. 4 stars) Brain Jack is a thrilling novel that will take you on an adventure like no other. Brain Jack is a exciting page-turner. Brain Jack is a unique book about hacking and the dangers of technology. Brian Falkner, the author of Brain Jack is a great author. I like his writing style because he focuses on the plot and the big picture, rather than small details. The characters in Brain Jack are not appealing, however. They have bland personalities and I didn't like any of them. The story itself mostly takes place in Silicon Valley sometime in the near future. At the beginning of Brain Jack, you learn about a skilled hacker named Sam Wilson. He participates in a hacking competition and gets recruited into a national cyber-defense group. While this a happening, a new technology known as Neuro-Headsets start becoming popular. Neuro-Headsets allow you to navigate your computer without using a mouse or keyboard. However, there is a neuro-virus spreading that launches The United States of America into another civil war. Sam Wilson and his companions have the cure, but it comes with some difficulties and consequences. This book is a great read! You should read it if you are interested in technology or would like to just read an captivating novel. Falkner, Brian. Brain Jack book cover. Digital image. // Guys Lit Wire //. Web. 10 Jan. 2011. .
