Wired for Madness — Peter Orullian

After the death of his wife, Robert Mallen finds the only way to cope is to crawl into a mindless routine. As empty years go by, he finds he is not really living anymore, until a revolutionary new procedure offers him the chance to offload the routines and trivialities of life, freeing his mind to explore deeper questions and ideas. And what he finds in his deep-mind may either save him ... or drive him mad.
