Algorithm 323 - by Erasmus Cromwell-Smith (Paperback)

Book Synopsis Nicolas Tosh is a Math Prodigy. In the late 70s, he develops a series of discreet algorithms that enable seamless communications "to" and "from" the brain. "Thoughts" replace voices as a communication medium, the brain's memory banks become easily downloadable and every "live" thought, image and sound can be captured through Tosh's mathematical constructs. To ensure neutrality and a safe haven for his operations, he builds a data center in Zermatt, Switzerland to host a global neural network and a "state of the art" Quantum Computer that enables the deployment of his set of algorithms on a global scale. Realizing that the misuse of his formulas could have serious repercussions, Tosh seeks the G-7 to designate them as WMDs, but inevitably conflicts arise as one nation tries to take advantage of Tosh's formulas, in detriment of the other member nations, in particular of Algorithm-323.

"Sprawling, a globe-spanning technological thriller about scary algorithmically-built math. 16 year old Swiss mathematician Nicolas Tosh.. has invented a set of algorithms..enabling him to build a device that facilitates..thought-based communication(s)..as well as the ability to reconstruct a person's whole life, moment to moment, with or without his consent..frightening technology..tech terrifying setup..compelling, Crichtonesque read."
