Sycamore

The ultimate gadget:
When young programmer Kurt Jacobs convinces the Sycamore corporation to release The Seed, an implantable microchip designed to replace smartphones, everything changes. By turning the user's palm into a trackpad and using Sycamore's UltraLenses to record and display data, Kurt's invention transforms every owner into a human supercomputer.

The ultimate trade-off:
Blinded by the convenience of being able to record and relive every moment of their lives at will, few worry about the implanted tracking device that can't be turned off. Few think about where their visual memories are stored. Few wonder who is watching.

The ultimate decision:
At first proud of The Seed's massive success, Kurt grows frustrated with Sycamore's focus on invasive advertising and inane applications. Frustration turns to horror when Kurt discovers the scale of Sycamore's government-approved surveillance program... not to mention their plan for what comes next. Confronted by conspiracies that run higher than he ever thought possible, how much will Kurt risk to stop them?
