Except one.
Attorney Adam Foster discovers a patent hidden inside an obsolete U.S. Patent Office database. It has no inventor's name, no official filing date, and no recognized patent number.
It is simply called Ghost Patent.
The document describes a technology capable of reproducing the fundamental principles behind any invention.
At first Adam assumes the patent is fraudulent.
Then he discovers that dozens of famous American inventors unknowingly incorporated elements of the technology into their own work.
The deeper he investigates, the more frightening the pattern becomes.
Someone has been secretly controlling the evolution of technology for more than a century.
Now Ghost Patent has been activated.
Every modern machine connected to the system is beginning to change.
Adam must uncover who created the original patent before the technology makes the very concept of human invention obsolete.
Because if every invention can be copied instantly, the person who controls Ghost Patent controls the future.
