As she rises through the ranks, she is encouraged by the company's founder, Eamon Bailey, to engage in a groundbreaking experiment that pushes the boundaries of privacy, ethics and ultimately her personal freedom. Her participation in the experiment, and every decision she makes begin to affect the lives and future of her friends, family and that of humanity.

Brilliant

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this, even if it's getting on a bit, and some of the characters are a touch heavy handed. What starts out as vaguely sensible, turns rapidly into a dystopian nightmare fever dream. I'd recommend it.
