Thanks for everyone's help yesterday on spreading the word on my free book. Over 1500 copies of "The Transhumanist Wager" were downloaded in the first 24 hours. It was so successful that I've continued the free ebook promotion on Amazon again today. (It'll be back to $5 tomorrow.) My book is currently ranked #6 in "all" free Science Fiction on Amazon and #1 in free Sci-Fi Visionary/Metaphysics! If you didn't get your copy or know someone who wants one, please share this link. Thanks!!! http://www.amazon.com/Transhumanist-W...

PS. And if you need a free Epub or PDF of the book, just email me. Thanks! Zoltan@transhumanistwager.com

I was excited yesterday to receive a positive endorsement tweet about my novel The Transhumanist Wager from Abstract Thoughts, who has 120,000 followers on twitter. I haven't mentioned this, but in 2014 my novel tripled in sales/downloads. I was also honored to find out that the book recently surpassed Ray Kurzweil's The Singularity Is Near in reviews on Amazon, though I'm sure his classic has more overall sales. Even though I'm not actively pushing my novel at this moment since I'm now active in politics, one thing I wanted to ask anyone reading this, if you have a moment, is to go to my novel's Amazon page and vote "NO" (that review wasn't helpful) to that terrible 1-star review prominently leading the reviews. Haters or bots have pushed that review to the very top. It's the very first review (so everyone sees it) and is titled: "So bad it makes me hate transhumanism." If there's enough "NO" votes that awful review will disappear and only the good reviews will remain, which outnumber the bad reviews 5 to 1 overall. Thanks and here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/Transhumanist-W...

Today is my 42nd birthday, but it's also the 2nd birthday of my novel The Transhumanist Wager. While I am distancing myself from the book as an aspiring politician, the book continues to make an impact, having been mentioned in many major publications this last year, and also increasingly being used in some college and high school courses around the world. A number of international translations are also in the works. There were also nearly 20,000 downloads of the novel in a single day last year (I think the 5th most downloaded book in the world that day) with a special promotion. Anyway, the paperback version is now only $7.88 in the US--a special sale price. Grab a physical copy if you don't have one as a new version with new professional cover and editing will eventually be out, making this one an original first edition (I may be over reaching here, but think first edition Atlas Shrugged from the 50s). And eventual movie right sales and sequels will help The Transhumanist Wager further along in becoming truly established in the literary world. Finally, assuming you agree, vote "no" on those hater 1-star reviews on the book's Amazon page! And vote "yes" on the 5-star reviews if you like them. Thanks! http://www.amazon.com/Transhumanist-W...
