But with the reappearance of Ethan's rogue brother Robert - a hacker who is forbidden from using technology - the hypothetical turns all too real: Robert convinces Ethan to let Anna transfer a conscious mind into Ethan's trading algorithms. But when Anna's experiment goes well - too well, in fact, with world-altering consequences - Ethan finds himself on the run, searching for answers to Anna's mysterious past and looking desperately for a way to give humanity its future back. With nail-biting action and smart, technical themes, The Transfer Problem asks what it means to exist, to be real, and to be human. But it also asks an even bigger question: how far would you go to avenge yourself?
