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.
