  <body-html>&lt;p&gt;When simulated interactions are an essential part of life, a programming glitch can be devastating, especially for the company that controls the sims.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;William Bellow is an experienced bug hunter who comes as close as any human to the anticipated Transformation that links man to machine. As he digs into the problems surrounding New London&amp;#8217;s most advanced programming, the nature of his own memories and the events of his past are called into question. Desperate manipulations and complex deceptions take him from the corporate towers to the underground resistance as Bellow&amp;#8217;s work quickly escalates into a fight for his life in both the physical and virtual worlds.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kenyon&amp;#8217;s fast-paced, twisting thriller tracks Bellow&amp;#8217;s progress forward through the case and backward through his own questionable past. Prime is a must-read for fans of Richard K. Morgan, Neal Stephenson, and Philip K. Dick.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Nate Kenyon has already proven himself a hell of a writer, but &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;PRIME&lt;/span&gt; puts him on a whole new level. &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;PRIME&lt;/span&gt; is sexy, two-fisted Future Noir that riffs off of present day questions of techno-ethics and still manages an emotional finale. Bravo!&amp;#8221;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Nate Kenyon really messes with your alphas in this one: a futuristic thriller with shocks, startling insights into the human mind, and surprising twists, it&amp;#8217;s also deeply relevant to what&amp;#8217;s happening in the world today.&amp;#8221;&lt;br&gt;
