Virtual Justice is a gripping crime thriller that explores the intersection of technology, justice, and revenge. The novel delves into the dark side of human nature, where revenge and justice are often indistinguishable, and where technology might be the key to seeking the balance between the two. The protagonist, Stanly Tarkle, is a neurochemical engineer with a vision to change the world through technology. He teams up with his AI, Gerry, and his girlfriend, Gloria, to develop a groundbreaking device, the Empathitor, that enables users to experience others’ thoughts and memories.
The story begins with the brutal murder of Juan Rodriguez; a teenager caught in the crossfire of a vendetta. Despite overwhelming evidence against the murderer, procedural errors lead to the case being dismissed, leaving Juan’s family in despair. In a world where justice often fails, Stan, driven by his obsession with justice, develops the Empathitor—a technology capable of transmitting and receiving thoughts and memories.
