YA
A brutal act of violence results in an iPhone being lodged in narrator Tom's brain. Now armed with mental access to all of cyberspace, Tom takes vengeance on the people who raped his friend, Lucy. The premise requires much suspension of disbelief, but the moral ambiguities inherent in such power and Tom and Lucy's tentative journeys back from their trauma are compelling.
