      Colt è un adolescente timido e introverso, dotato di un’intelligenza fuori dal comune. Figlio unico di genitori divorziati, trascurato dalla madre Naomi, brillante biologa, e dal padre Ryan, collaboratore di una misteriosa agenzia governativa, trascorre molto del suo tempo immerso nella realtà virtuale. Come buona parte delle persone affette da autismo, conduce una vita semplice, scandita da abitudini sempre uguali, finché un giorno le cose iniziano a complicarsi. In un impeto di entusiasmo, decide di inviare di nascosto l’innovativo studio a cui sua madre sta lavorando a una conferenza biotech a New York. Da quel momento, le paure più angosciose di Naomi diventano realtà innescando una serie di eventi catastrofici. Preceduto dall’agenzia governativa per cui lavora, Ryan piomba nelle loro vite: pretende di avere le ricerche di Naomi e anche suo figlio. La vita stessa di Colt è ora in pericolo e tocca a sua madre decidere fin dove sarebbe disposta a spingersi pur di proteggerlo… Ucciderebbe un uomo? Distruggerebbe il suo mondo? Annienterebbe tutto ciò in cui crede? Da una delle voci più originali della narrativa irlandese, un elettrizzante tecno-thriller che esplora quali connessioni – sia umane che di altra natura – possano crearsi e crescere nell’era digitale. Connect è una storia di madre e figlio, certo, ma è anche qualcosa che ci riguarda da vicino, che indaga le nostre connessioni quotidiane e scandisce inesorabilmente il nostro futuro.
