A Small Box of Chaos

About the Book

There are cameras at every turn, smart buildings that know all about you, virtual realities that overcome real ones. And there is instant access to all of it through a computer the size of a credit card.

The year is 2040 and constant monitoring is the price you pay for being connected. But can you get away with murder in such a world?

That is the problem facing data maven and control freak Aldo Weeks when a single lapse in judgment plunges him into unknown terrain. First there is a midnight tryst with an exotic redhead. Then a murderous duet with a madman. As he tries to outwit the vast net of information, he encounters a strange puzzle box at the center of the whole affair, a box of chaos that might just hold the key to how complexity rules the universe.
