Lock In is a Science Fiction detective novel by John Scalzi. The book was published by Tor Books in August 2014.Humanity has been ravaged by Haden's Syndrome. While most individuals simply experience flu-like symptoms, 1% of those infected have their brains permanently damaged. These unfortunate few become completely paralyzed and trapped within their own bodies.But there is hope. Thanks to aggressive federal funding, technology was able to advance enough to allow Hadens to interact with the physical world through robot bodies, known as "Threeps" (as in C-3PO). Hadens can use similar technology to "borrow" the body of an Integrator, someone who had their brain affected by Haden's but not to the point of lock in.Now, 25 years since the outbreak of Haden's, the federal funding that has been supporting those affected has been cut, leading to massive Haden protests. On the first day of these protests, Chris Shane, a newbie FBI Agent and Haden, and Leslie Vann, an FBI veteran, are assigned to investigate a murder involving a sofa thrown out a hotel window. Things get complicated quickly when they discover the main suspect is an Integrator, who may or may not have been carrying a Haden at the time.A companion novella, Unlocked: An Oral History of Haden's Syndrome, was released around the same time as Lock In, serving to provide expanded backstory for the book's universe.Now has a sequel, Head On, which was released in April 2018. After the death of a Hilketa player on the field, agents Chris and Vann must delve into the darker side of the Haden-specific sport in order to get to the bottom of it. | |

| Lock In / int_1888979e | comment |
Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: When Chris first meets Hubbard, he denounces Buchold for wanting to create a cure, all but claiming that it would be akin to genocide. However, as events unfold, it turns out that he cares less about Hadens' rights and more about ensuring that he makes a ton of money from them, even going so far as to try and kill a famous Haden's activist to help make it happen. Cassandra Bell (said activist) even describes him as "able to speak passionately about Hadens when it is convenient and advantageous for him to do so, and when not, not." | |

Mutual Kill | |
| Lock In / int_1df37537 | comment |
Mutual Kill: An integrator in Head On is attacked by a mobster and his bodyguard. However, the Crazy-Prepared woman manages to get her hands on a knife she taped under her table and deals mortal wounds to the two men (she has special forces training). She gets distracted, however, and the bodyguard manages to put a bullet into her head before succumbing to wounds. Shane finds out that she also had a gun taped next to the knife. Vann reasons that she grabbed whatever was closest. Had she grabbed the gun instead, it's likely she would have survived. | |

Blood Sport | |
| Lock In / int_2767953f | comment |
Blood Sport: Hilketa, a Haden-exclusive sport, is half this trope and half-football. The name literally translates to "murder" (it's Basque), and the "ball" is actually a designated player's (called a "goat") head, which the opposing team has to tear off before they can use it to score goals. Players can pick up and use certain weapons, from swords and bows to grenades, although all damage is simulated, since Threeps are expensive. It's the first truly gender-neutral sport, since physical stats do not come into play, as Threeps are piloted remotely. Currently, Hilketa is restricted to Hadens, although there is a growing movement demanding that non-Hadens be allowed to play. Naturally, Haden players are resisting, as they feel the league will marginalize them, if everyone is permitted to play. At the same time, it's pointed out that Hilketa is still far from being the most popular sport in either the US (still football) or the world (still soccer). This is why the league is so eager to expand into foreign markets. Currently, the North American Hilketa League is composed of 24 American, Canadian, and Mexican teams. | |

Advert-Overloaded Future | |
| Lock In / int_39ba2515 | comment |
Advert-Overloaded Future: This is something Hadens are concerned about with the end of federal funding. Once little things like updates for the brain implants they use to run threeps or access VR are being run by for-profit corporations, what's to prevent those corporations from cramming everything full of adware? To an extent, it's already happening; Hadens without a lot of money can subsidize their virtual reality spaces by letting companies put ads on their "walls" (although the companies will try to cater to each Haden's artistic sensibilities and give them things they at least don't hate). | |

Sharing a Body: Neural Networks allowed Hadens to project their consciousness onto an Integrator in order to interact with the outside world. The Haden can control the body, but the Integrator remains conscious and can take control when needed. However, the software that Hubbard developed overrides the Integrator's control. | |

More derogatorily, "clanks" for threeps and "Dodgers" for non-Hadens (after Dodger Dogs, the hot dogs served at Dodger Stadium, "all lips and assholes"). | |

Mind Rape: How Vann views Integrating. She does not like the idea of someone else being in her head and controlling her body.

Both Sides Have a Point: Although Abrams-Kettering, the bill that slashed government assistance for Hadens, has been financially very bad for many people, it is true that the government protections were being used by many as a tax shelter or a way to launder money—shady corporations were just tacking on some flimsy justification for why something could be useful to Hadens to whatever they wanted, thus sponging off money that should have been for things like enrichment programs. | |

Fixing the Game: This turns out to be the motive behind everything in Head On. The Big Bad plans to use her vitamin supplement company to distribute specially-targeted drugs to certain Hilketa players. The drugs would be triggered by mild electric shocks and serve to reduce the players' performance. Thus, the Big Bad could ensure a game's outcome. Unfortunately for her, her test case's boyfriend got his hands on one of the supplement packets and used it himself. Since the drug was configured to his girlfriend's biochemistry, it ended up killing him in a very public fashion. | |

Mistaken for Servant: Happens to Chris early in Head On. The moment one of the investors sees Chris walk into the stadium skybox, he shoves an empty glass into Chris' hand on the assumption that a threep in that group has to be part of the catering crew. Bonus irony points in that the investors wanted Chris' dad to put money into the league and should have known Marcus Shane's child was a Haden. | |

Faking the Dead: Done for Dwayne's girlfriend's pet cat, whose proximity unlocked the data vault on its collar. If they believe the cat's dead, the bad guys think that the FBI can't get to the information on it. | |

Running Gag | |
| Lock In / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: During the course of the investigation, Chris goes through threeps like Stephanie Plum goes through cars. ("in a single day I had managed to seriously damage three separate threeps.") And while Chris's own threeps are expensive, at one point Chris has to borrow a loaner in Arizona that's described as "like the Ford Pinto of threeps." This doesn't change in the sequel, and even gets Chris in trouble with the Philadelphia FBI office, when their guest threep is lost in a house fire. They try to put all the blame on Chris only for him and Vann to counter that they were the ones who failed to keep the threep charged, as per the regs, resulting in Chris losing power before making it out of the fire. | |
