When your science fiction plot becomes real before the book comes out
I'm afraid that real life is overtaking science fiction faster than I can write it. I've begun work on my second novel in the Finder series, and Anthony Levandowski, former head of Google's and then Uber's autonomous car programs, has stolen my plot.
Or rather, his real-life doings echo a part of the plot for my next book. And I thought my idea was kind of out there!
His non-profit religious organization, Way of the Future, has a mission to "develop and promote the realization of a Godhead based on artificial intelligence and through understanding and worship of the Godhead contribute to the betterment of society."
How could this go wrong? Wait for my next book.
