Silicon Burning
London has been upgraded. So its nightmares.
The year is 2045- it's almost 30 years since a devastating nuclear terrorist attack on London. An attack which changed the world forever.
Mother Mind - an advanced artificial intelligence created by the Virtualife Corporation - monitors British Citizens 24/7. The boundaries between machines and humans have blurred. The gap between rich and poor has widened. The human race is diminishing and cybernetically-enhanced Transhumans are growing rapidly.
The flames of rebellion are rising though; spurred on by an enigmatic hacker group known as Spiritform. But, after successfully infiltrating Virtualife's network, one of Spiritform's members falls victim to Jack-21; a prolific serial killer that has been terrorising the Transhuman population of London.
Now, Virtualife hires Arthur Wells – a cyborg private investigator and former cyberwarfare specialist – to retrieve the data stolen by Spiritform, before the secrets within are decrypted and revealed to the world. But little does he realise that he's falling into a deep corporate conspiracy and a whole new interpretation of a cat and mouse game.

"The author successfully keeps you engaged throughout this fast-paced book with his plot twists and his very visual writing style. He paints a very realistic world in the readers' eyes and the book reads just like a movie. The author is good at creating tension and he keeps you guessing throughout. Although the book is nearly six hundred pages long, I read it in three sittings." – Allyseria, OnlineBookClub (https://forums.onlinebookclub.org/viewtopic.php?t=83567)
"This is just a cool book. Excellent story and strong characters that keep you hooked for over 500 pages."- Cruzie, Amazon.co.uk
"I admit, in recent years, I'd moved on from cyberpunk, since I'd noted an emotional disconnect in a lot of the lit produced by Western authors. But this one rise to challenge that problem, creating something that is philosophically compelling, thoroughly entertaining, and emotionally satisfying. We get to know the characters as people, affected not just economically and socially but on a personal, existential and teleological way." – RC Mulhare, Goodreads (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/36334130-silicon-burning)
"There are many twists and turns, some that we are in on and some that come out of the blue. How the past affects the present situation and motivation of each character is also shocking at times. The author is very invested in these characters and has created a well-developed story line. I hope to see many more volumes in this series and will continue to look for more books by Thomas McCaughley" – Julie Sell, Amazon.com
