About the Author

Having been a fan of science fiction and an advocate of the scientific community, my hope has always been for an enlightened future. But like most people, I too fear the unknown and what might lead us into something flawed, or worse. The possibilities for good and evil are endlessly unpredictable, both now and for future generations.

My intent is to give the readers an altered vision of those possibilities in a fanciful story and to challenge them to understand the problems facing us from a very different perspective. Perhaps by laying the challenges out upfront and laboring to clarify the villainy, we can gain insights and learn from the hypothetical. Always knowing that sometimes hard choices are necessary and there will never be a consensus of minds.

The final message is that advances and technology are changing our world faster than we can adapt. It can show us the light or lead us into darkness, depending on who controls it and how we use it. This situation is further complicated by the avalanche of information and misinformation on a grand scale to influence our thinking. How can we be free when our subjective views of the world around us is an illusion rather than an objective reality.

I hope you will see the underlying messages and the inspiration to work for the greater good, and continued freedom of mind in this age of information overload. If you find this description unsettling, strange and convoluted, well… welcome to my world!
