Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - When human nature is reduced to a variable, who decides which version survives In the cold, carpeted boardrooms of private equity and the windowless labs of Boston biotechs, a silent war is being waged over the levers of human behavior. Julian Vance is a corporate fixer who reads people the way actuaries read spreadsheets. His gift-or his curse-is an ability to see the gap between what people fear and what they claim to want. Hired by a ruthless private equity firm to determine the fate of two manufacturing plants, Julian coldly calculates which one lives and which one dies. But that is just a warm-up. His next assignment takes him to Aethelgard Biotherapeutics, a secretive neuro-pharma startup on the verge of a landmark FDA submission for an aggression-reduction drug. Behind the corporate PR and pristine labs lies a terrifying discovery: a nine percent clinical anomaly. A small fraction of patients aren't just getting calmer-they are losing the biological machinery of fear and guilt entirely. To corporate executives and mysterious offshore buyers, it isn't a dangerous side effect. It is a multi-million-dollar upgrade.>Part corporate thriller, part philosophical excavation of modern power, The Calculus of Concrete and Blood is a razor-sharp, chillingly plausible novel about a world where human emotion has been monetized, optimized, and prepared for deletion. For fans of Michael Clayton, Succession, and high-stakes techno-thrillers where the greatest danger isn't a weapon-it's the arithmetic.…
