Freedom of choice, reality, and even the question of what it means to be human collide in Arvo, a novel by Dalton Wyers. The setting is the very near future, and for seventeen-year-old Ethan Cole, life is normal—sort of. Like much of the country, Ethan is wired: neuro-integrated with an implant meant to help him live better. The device is not passive. It is a voice in his head, and it may have an agenda that has little to do with his well-being. When an upgrade becomes available, Ethan opts in, only to learn that the decision was never truly his.
