''Triggers'' is a science fiction novel by Canadian writer Robert J. Sawyer.〔 〕 It was originally serialized in ''Analog''. Sawyer has been commissioned to adapt ''Triggers'' for the screen. ==Plot summary== In the near future, a war veteran named Kadeem Adams, is about to undergo a highly experimental memory editing treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder at Luther Terry hospital in Washington DC. Seth Jerrison, the President of the United States, is rushed to the same hospital after being shot. The treatment goes awry due to the electromagnetic pulse from an atomic bomb planted by terrorists, which has just blown up the White House. It becomes clear that terrorists have infiltrated the Secret Service. When president Jerrison recovers consciousness, he can remember Kadeem Adams' life as well as his own. Kadeem Adams finds himself able to remember the life of someone else who was nearby in the hospital. This raises the possibility that someone in the vicinity has access to president Jerrison's memories, some of which are extremely secret; these include plans for a major, and morally more than questionable, antiterrorist action. In large part, the book has a thriller type plot. Learning how the memories of many of the characters were intertwined is a key to such things as finding who has the president's memories and who the terrorists are. However, much of the book is about the characters and interactions of the people whose minds have been subjected to what is suggested to be quantum entanglement. Not all of them are good people. After one of them dies, the quantum entanglement gets stronger rather than weaker. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Triggers (novel)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
