Code

Vicky Brandt is a dedicated bioengineer, designing pain-relief implants for a medical supply company. When she finds out her employers used her designs to control and effectively torture people, she reaches out to her old college friends Amir and Tom for help. They get the media and legal system involved, but they’re unable to control the spread of her technology.

Determined to find a better way, Vicky quits her job to start her own research. Amir’s medical expertise and Tom’s connections in politics and business are both necessary, and the three of them strive to develop a new implant. This new code device is self-regulating, allowing its users to live confidently, knowing that the code will keep them from doing anything they know is wrong. Unfortunately that also makes it controversial, and powerful corporations will do anything to alter her work for their own ends.
