The Girl From Wudang Av Pj Caldas

From Emmy-winner, Brazilian best-seller PJ Caldas, comes a story about immortality, martial arts and AI that will make you change the way you look at life, science, and the crazy times we are living in. My Name is Tigress and I am immortal. This is my story.Yinyin, called Tigress, was raised in the sacred mountains of Wudang, where her life was about Tai Chi, the Dao, and trying to balance her yang with yin. Artificial intelligence and neuroscience were things she'd never even heard of. But then her overpowering yang sets her on a course to the Bay Area to become a professional fighter.For as long as she could remember, Yinyin had been told she was poised to become part of something big, but what "big" turned out to be was beyond her imaginin a scientific experiment that would allow her to connect her brain to a thing they called "Brainternet" and become unbeatable. Bonus: the suicidal headaches that had plagued her all her life would cease. But nothing comes without a price, and this connection would give others access to family secrets Yinyin has sworn to protect.Secrets that, at large and in the wrong hands, could be a very dangerous thing. Fans of the legendary cyberpunk novels and gritty sci-fi thrillers of William Gibson and Stieg Larsson will be captivated by this new techno-thriller--a fast-paced blend of action, neuroscience, spirituality and martial arts. "Unpredictable, disorienting and wonderfully absorbing...a book you can't stop reading." -- Monica Rector, professor emeritus of Literature, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
