"Discover the history of Haden's Syndrome, the virus that created the world of John Scalzi's inventive near-future thrillers Lock In and Head On, in the prequel novella Unlocked.

Not long from now, a virus will sweep the globe. Most will suffer no worse than flu-like symptoms, but an unlucky one percent will be changed forever. Hundreds of millions become ""locked in"", awake, aware, but completely unable to control their bodies.

This is the story of the doctors, scientists, engineers, politicians, and heroes who remade the world. It is the story of the chaotic outbreak, the fight for a cure, the changes that followed. It is an oral history, straight from the mouths of those who survived the most dynamic period in human history."

Reviews for Unlocked: An Oral History of Hadens Syndrome

Praise for Lock In This is the kind of thriller that Michael Crichton, Lincoln Child, and James Rollins do so well. Add John Scalzi to that list. --Douglas Preston, #1 NYT bestselling author of The Kraken Project and Impact As much as Scalzi has the scientific creativity of a Michael Crichton, he also has the procedural chops of a Stephen J. Canell to craft a whodunit with buddy-cop charm and suspects aplenty--most of them in someone else's body. --USA Today Satisfying. --NPR Scalzi takes his work to an entirely new level. --Cory Doctorow A smart, thoughtful near-future thriller.... This powerful novel will intrigue and entertain both fans and newcomers. --Publishers Weekly, starred review John Scalzi may be the most entertaining writer in SF today. --Toronto Star
