Neuropath by R. Scott Bakker

2.0

Professor Tom Bible is drawn into an FBI manhunt for a killer (his college roommate/close friend/secret NSA mind-hacker Neil Cassidy) who tortures his victims via neurosurgery. Half torture-porn, half stoner dorm-room philosophical musing on the nature of free will and the self. Fast pacing and some plot twists kept me reading, but I ended up wanting to like it more than I did.
