The Rat
A disturbed biohacker accomplishes the impossible: he implants a chip
with which he can control a rat’s free will via computer command. But
when his partner betrays him to profit from their breakthrough, he
plunges into moral darkness and soon makes a desperate attempt to escape
his own depression.
