Dean Jon M. Garon's debut novel,
Burn Rate
,
is available on Amazon.com. As he explains, “I wrote the novel to introduce the public to some of the more critical issues in cybersecurity law and national security law using a format that might be a bit more interesting than another law review.”
About the book:
An entrepreneur who recently brought his company public and became a paper billionaire, is prevented from delivering the keynote presentation at the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas by a professional hit man.
Emma Davis, a law professor, former dean, and sophisticated trouble-shooter with experience taking down corporate corruption, agrees to help with the murder investigation.

Two of the fastest growing areas in the modern economy are health care and technology. In the race to provide innovations in health care and technology, however, the patient and caregiver are often left out of the conversation. Consequently, some technologies, intellectual property rules, health care options, and health policy decisions are replete with unintended consequences.
Panels include:
- What Would a Medical Data Information Commons Look Like, and how Would it Be Governed?
- Patient Protection or Caveat Emptor? (Some) Risks Posed By High-Tech, Data-Driven Medicine
- Will Human Gene Editing Improve Health, Promote Eugenics, Or Both?
