In this now-classic thriller, he and fellow author J. Frederick George tell a shocking tale with an all-too plausible premise. There\u0026#39;s no way William A. Cozzano can lose the upcoming presidential election. He\u0026#39;s a likable midwestern governor with one insidious advantage--an advantage provided by a shadowy group of backers. A biochip implanted in his head hardwires him to a computerized polling system. The mood of the electorate is channeled directly into his brain. Forget issues. Forget policy. Cozzano is more than the perfect candidate. He\u0026#39;s a special effect. \u0026quot;Complex, entertaining, frequently funny.\u0026quot;--Publishers Weekly\u0026quot;Qualifies as the sleeper of the year, the rare kind of science-fiction thriller that evokes genuine laughter while simultaneously keeping the level of suspense cranked to the max.\u0026quot;-- San Diego Union-Tribune\u0026quot;A Manchurian Candidate for the computer age.\u0026quot; --Seattle WeeklyFrom the Trade Paperback edition.","author_name":"Neal Stephenson, George F.
