Hard to say when the human species fractured exactly. Harder to say when this new talent arrived. But Lion Zorn is the first of his kind-an empathy tracker, an emotional soothsayer, with a felt sense for the future of the we. In simpler terms, he can spot cultural shifts and trends before they happen.

It's a useful skill for a certain kind of company.

Arctic Pharmaceuticals is that kind of company. But when a routine em-tracking job leads to the discovery of a gruesome murder, Lion finds himself neck-deep in a world of eco-assassins, soul hackers and consciousness terrorists. But what the man really needs is a nap.

A unique blend of cutting-edge technology and traditional cyberpunk, Last Tango in Cyberspace explores hot topics like psychology, neuroscience, technology, as well as ecological and animal rights issues. The world created in Last Tango in Cyberspace is based very closely on our world about five years from now, and all technology in the book either exists in labs or is rumoured to exist. With its electrifying sentences, subtle humour, and an intriguing main character, readers are sure to find something that resonates with them in this groundbreaking cyberpunk science fiction thriller.

Industry Reviews

Like a cyberpunk version of Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, combining associative thought, coincidences, randomness, philosophy, and a case of social outcasts into a very peculiar, yet very immersive, reading experience. It combines the paranoia of Philip K. Dick with the social consciousness of Octavia Butler and the cagey forecasting of Robert J. Sawyer....A marvelously unique novel. -- San Francisco Book Review (four stars)

Both thriller and sf, the latest from Kotler is sure to please....A fascinating read. Highly recommend. --Library Journal (starred review)

This near-future technothriller is a breezy around-the-world romp for ex-journalist and "empathy-tracker" Lion Zorn.... a fun story with plenty of SF media references for fans to enjoy. --Publishers Weekly

Kotler crafts an intriguing blend of detective story and social critique.... [He] creates a vivid picture of near-future earth... readers who dig in will find a story that is, at its core, an insightful view on how empathy can connect us to each other and to the living beings that share this planet. --Booklist

Astounding! I love any book that teaches me about the future and Kotler's Last Tango is the best I've read in a very long time. Incredibly insightful, wildly entertaining, and nearly impossible to put down." --Peter Diamandis, New York Times bestselling author

"Dazzling! A luminous, diamond-bright thriller of the near future. Sparkling with empathy, packed with wit, and overflowing with catch-your-breath insights into the human condition. I wish I'd written this myself." --Ramez Naam, Philip K Dick Award-winning author

"With a sharp cyberpunk mind and an empaths' soul, Last Tango gives us a believable near-future and a story you won't be able to stop reading. I inhaled in one gulp. Bravo!" --R.U. Sirius, writer, editor, talk show host, musician, and co-founder of Mondo 2000

Some books give you a peek into what the future may hold, but Last Tango holds you down, tapes your eyes open, and blasts the doors off. More fun than used to be legal in many states." --Joshua Klein, Hacker, Host of National Geographic's The Link, Author, and Consultant

A hardboiled tour-de-force, Kotler's Last Tango blends sparkling prose, compelling characters, and underline-able insights into a gritty sci-fi epic that balances at the precipice of light and dark." --Neil Strauss, nine-time New York Times bestselling author
