Galley Review: Brain Jack by Brian Falkner

Las Vegas is gone--destroyed in a terrorist attack. Black hawk helicopters patrol the skies over New York City. Immersive online gaming is the most dangerous street drug around. In this dystopic future, technology has leapt forward once again, and neuro-headsets have replaced computer keyboards. Just slip on a headset, and it's the Internet at the speed of thought. For teen hacker Sam Wilson, a headset is a must. But as he becomes more familiar with the new technology, he has a terrifying realization. If anything on his computer is vulnerable to a hack, what happens when his mind is linked to the system?

What SL teens are saying about the book...

"This was such a good book that I read it in four hours. It kept me reading with all the action and suspence. I also read Falkner's "Tomorrow Code" and that was a good book too. I hope he keeps writing!"--Eric H.

"Written from the hacker's point of view, this is an interesting book for people into geeky stuff. The in-depth description of hacking was especially compelling."--Clay F.
