Bernal Haydon-Rumi, executive assistant to a funder of eccentric projects, drops by his boss€™s house on the way home from a business trip. By the next morning, he€™s been knocked out, his wealthy socialite boss Muriel has stolen a car and vanished, and the AI designed for planetary exploration that she€™s been funding turns out to be odder than it should be. In figuring out what€™s going on, Bernal has to deal with an anti-AI activist toting a handmade electronic arsenal, a local serial killer, a drug dealer with a business problem, a cryonic therapist stalked by past mistakes€”and someone who specifically wants Bernal dead.Brain Thief is a fun, literate speculative fiction adventure, sort of New England cyberpunk noir, set a year or ten from now, somewhere between the Berkshires and Boston, and includes, at no extra charge, a 30-foot-tall fiberglass cowgirl.
