English Summary/英文概要： A blazingly inventive near-future thriller from the best-selling, Hugo Award-winning John Scalzi.
Not too long from today, a new, highly contagious virus makes its way across the globe. Most who get sick experience nothing worse than flu, fever and headaches. But for the unlucky one percent – and nearly five million souls in the United States alone – the disease causes "Lock In": Victims fully awake and aware, but unable to move or respond to stimulus. The disease affects young, old, rich, poor, people of every color and creed. The world changes to meet the challenge.
A quarter of a century later, in a world shaped by what’s now known as "Haden’s syndrome," rookie FBI agent Chris Shane is paired with veteran agent Leslie Vann. The two of them are assigned what appears to be a Haden-related murder at the Watergate Hotel, with a suspect who is an "integrator" – someone who can let the locked in borrow their bodies for a time. If the Integrator was carrying a Haden client, then naming the suspect for the murder becomes that much more complicated.
But "complicated" doesn’t begin to describe it. As Shane and Vann began to unravel the threads of the murder, it becomes clear that the real mystery – and the real crime – is bigger than anyone could have imagined. The world of the locked in is changing, and with the change comes opportunities that the ambitious will seize at any cost. The investigation that began as a murder case takes Shane and Vann from the halls of corporate power to the virtual spaces of the locked in, and to the very heart of an emerging, surprising new human culture. It’s nothing you could have expected.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 一部关于我们不久将来的小说，由来自当代最受欢迎的科幻小说家倾力奉献！
距今十五年后，一种新的病毒席卷全球。95%受感染的者遭受着比发热头疼还要严重的体感。只有百分之一的人发现自己被‘禁锢’，完全处于清醒状态，但身体无法移动，或对刺激作出任何反应。
百分之一似乎并不很多。但在美国，这些被"禁锢"的170万人......包括总统的妻子和女儿。
在这场人类浩劫的无尽悲伤和痛楚的推动下，美国进行了一场大规模的科学研究。没有方法可以让这些被禁锢的人身体恢复正常运动。但两种新的技术却随之应运而生。一种是虚拟的现实环境，‘阿格拉’，在这个环境里那些被‘禁锢’的人可以和其他人类交流，他们在这个环境里不是一样无法动弹，或者就是同样可以活动自如。另一个是发现几个罕见的个人的大脑接受受制于他人，这意味着时不时，那些被‘禁锢’的人可以"操控"其他人，操控他们的身体宛如自己的身体。(Sandy)
