Synopsis: What would happen if man's highest technical acheivment, the computer, was combined with the most highly evolved organ on the planet, the human brain? For Brian Delaney, theory becomes reality when gunmen storm his high security laboratory and put a bullet in his skull. Miraculously, Brian survives and scientists reconstruct his brain with the very nerve reprogramming techniques and computer-human connections that Brian himself helped to invent. Now, as much machine as man, Brian's challenge is to regain his past and rediscover the scientific knowledge he lost--before his enemies dare to strike again. In an astonishing blend of science fact and fiction that ranks with Michael Chrichton's Jurassic Park and Carl Sagan's Contact, The Turing Option takes us to the furthest edge of tomorrow's computer technology today.
