The OSIRIS War
The Artificial Gods brought immortality. Now they're failing.

Twenty-two year old Mary Firebrightsky has just graduated from college with a promising future ahead of her. After all, she's going to live forever. Everyone lives forever these days, thanks to digital "gods" that grant eternal life in virtual space. But she needs a job, and the people she's competing with have several lifetimes' worth of experience and she has none. When she can't even qualify for indentured servitude to pay off her student loans, she takes a risky move at self-employment under a religious loophole that follows the ancient human faith, Catholicism.

As the new gods fail, anarchy ensues as people fight for their right to eternal life. Can Mary, with her newly formed conscience, serve her clients, her God, and her own need to survive?

Trigger Warning: 2020. Writing this book was the author's way of coping with present events. This book is thinly-veiled political commentary set in the downfall of a dysfunctional republic and its broken gods. But if you want a book about hope when all else is hopeless, you've found the one.

About the Author

Matthew P. Schmidt was chosen by God in Christ before the existence of the world to be holy and blameless before him. Matthew P. Schmidt is not that good at that, but he tries. He was born in Colorado Springs, Colorado, but moved at a young age to Martins Ferry, Ohio, where he lurks today.

Matthew P. Schmidt has written since he was five and dictated stories to his parents, and has programmed since he figured out how to work QBasic. He finds writing and programming to be surprisingly similarly, though admittedly typos in books do not usually cause the reader to crash. Matthew P. Schmidt is certain there are exceptions.

When not working on one of his many projects, Matthew P. Schmidt dreams of worlds that are not, in addition to much reading of books and playing of games. He enjoys the Great Blue Heron and octopuses of all kinds, no matter their plural. He often speaks of himself in the third person, and not only in online biographies. Matthew P. Schmidt attends Our Lady of Peace in Wheeling, West Virgina, where he regularly eats God.
