THE SAMSARA EFFECT
Book ID/图书代码： 02173013B63149
English Summary/英文概要： Deep in the basement of the University of Chicago Biological Sciences Building, Dr. William Kanter is on the brink of developing a technology that will replace the MRI. Yet the images captured aren’t of his brain, they’re his memories. And they only take up only a small portion at the end of the scan. What Kanter discovers throughout the rest of the scan could rock the very foundation of humanity.
Across campus, child psychologist Dr. Trenna Anderson is reviewing a disturbing home video of a young Wisconsin farm boy who suffers from night terrors. After witnessing the boy become a Nazi prison guard, L.A. crack whore and Inuit native, Anderson suspects the eight-year-old may have multiple personality disorder. But when conventional psychotherapy fails, Anderson reluctantly meets with a maverick inventor named Kanter who’s rumored to have created a revolutionary machine that might be the boy’s only hope. Kanter thinks his invention will help mankind, but there are forces at work that want to destroy a machine that threatens to expose the world’s most precious beliefs. Soon Kanter and Anderson find themselves embroiled in a deadly and dangerous world of government espionage, corporate greed and religious fundamentalism. Is Kanter’s invention capable of changing the world? And if so, at what cost?
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在芝加哥大学生物实验楼的底层，威廉•坎特博士即将研发出一项可以代替磁共振成像技术的全新技术。然而这一新技术所捕捉到的并非其大脑中的图像，而是他记忆中的图像。并且这些图像只占据最终扫描结果的极小一部分。而坎特在剩下的扫描结果中所发现的则将撼动人类存在的基础。
在校园里，儿童心理辅导老师崔娜•安德森正在反复观看一名遭受“夜惊”困扰的年轻威斯康辛农场男孩的视频录像。在亲眼目睹了男孩先后变成了纳粹监守、L洛杉矶妓女和伊努特土著人后，安德森怀疑这名年仅八岁的男孩患有多重人格障碍。当传统的心理疗法显得毫无起色后，安德森不得不半信半疑的去与一名离群索居的发明家坎特见面，因为传言坎特发明了一台革命性的机器，而这台机器很可能便是男孩最后的希望。坎特认为自己的发明将造福全人类，殊不知暗中正有一股势力想要摧毁这台机器，因为这台机器正在将世界上最珍贵的信仰公之于众。很快地，坎特和安德森便发现他们身陷政府谍报活动致命且充满着危险的巨大网络中，其间充斥着贪婪、更有基要主义宗教运动。坎特的发明真的能够改变世界吗？如果可以，那为此又将付出怎样的代价？（DC）
