Heartless

Brian Fitzgerald

Brian Fitzgerald has spent a career in technology, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence. He tells stories about the impact of technology, politics and class on society, ethics and individuals.

Ten years of frustration and heartbreak caring for his son John, born with a catastrophic heart defect, have convinced Rick Morrow that the world is stacked against his family. And on what should be the best day –– the day John finally gets a new heart –– Rick's worst nightmare begins when the helicopter carrying the heart crashes, destroying the heart and the hopes of the Morrow family. Rick’s heartbreak turns to rage as he begins to suspect that the accident was no accident at all. His pursuit of the truth puts him on a collision course with the giant company who operated the helicopter, and their dangerous fix-it man. The escalating conflict threatens not only Rick’s reputation and safety but also his marriage, and ends with Rick and his wife Mary facing and even more terrible question; will they sacrifice all they believe in to save their own son, at the cost of an anonymous child's life in a far away corner of the world. Heartless forces us to ask ourselves the most basic of questions: how far should we go to save the life of someone we love? And what makes a life matter in the first place?
