A computer engineer with psychic disorders volunteers for the first implant of an electronic brain in a human being, an experiment designed to control his epilepsy. A failed maneuver turns him into an unpredictable threat, and the narrative follows the phases of his flight and the pursuit to stop him, like a scientific tragedy of absolute verisimilitude.

For readers of science fiction and medical thriller who enjoy ethical dilemmas of technology and pursuit plots.
