In this story a new virus has infected large portions of the human race. The virus causes some people to have locked in syndrome, where they are aware and conscious but cannot move in any way. Technology has developed to allow these people to take control of robots, which then effectively become their bodies. There is also another group of people who were infected, but did not become locked in. These people can become “integrators” which means that they can allow sufferers to take control of their body, which allows them to have a more direct experience.
I thought the premise and ideas were very interesting, but the characters were very shallow. The plot was a crime drama with the main character being a new recruit to the FBI. It was frankly ridiculous at points, including taking a recently deceased corpse to place in a sufferers bed so that an attacker would stab that instead. Large parts of the dialogue were pretty bad, sometimes coming across like a Scooby Doo episode.
