So, Mr. Musk has done it. He’s implanted a chip in a human brain. Well, *he* didn’t do it, some robot did. 

My debut novel, The Genesis Code, was originally published in May 2013. And I actually completed the manuscript in 2006. In other words, I beat him to it by a long shot. 

And of course, being one of *my* novels, some things go terribly, terribly wrong in the plot. The implant ends up being a sort of Trojan horse, supposedly doing one relatively benign and useful thing, but in reality doing a hell of a lot more so the inventor can try out some things under the radar.

Actually, I thought DARPA had been trying out implants to tackle PTSD for a while now…but still long after The Genesis Code dreamed it up.
