Empathy Evolved: A Mind-Bending Sci-Fi Thriller New York Times bestselling author Steven Kotler's follow up to Last Tango in Cyberspace, The Devil's Dictionary is a near-future thriller that explores the evolution of empathy in the tradition of William Gibson and Neal Stephenson. Lion Zorn, the protagonist of Last Tango in Cyberspace, is the first of his kind—an empathy tracker, an emotional forecaster, with a felt sense for how culture evolves and the future arrives. It's a useful skill in today's competitive business market, but when a routine em-tracking job goes sideways and em-trackers themselves start disappearing, Lion finds himself in a life and death race to uncover the truth. The trail leads to the world's first mega-linkage, a continent-wide national park advertised as the best way to stave off environmental collapse. But as exotic animals unlike any on Earth start showing up, Lion's quest for truth becomes a fight for the survival of the species. Packed with intrigue, heart-pounding action, and unforgettable characters, The Devil's Dictionary blends cutting-edge science, cult comic touches, and vivid storytelling. It's Steven Kotler at his thrilling science fiction best, delivering a thought-provoking tale of empathy, evolution, and the future of humanity.
