Happy New Year! 2014
Happy New Year! I’m back. Hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year’s Holiday with friends and family.
When I was a child, the prospect of reaching the year 2000 seemed to be a significant milestone that would usher in all kinds of technological wonders that one would expect after a steady diet of science fiction television series and movies. No flying cars, androids, or civilian space flights to lunar colonies for us. However, while much is the same comparatively to decades ago, fourteen years into the twenty-first century, much is very different. This is the heart of my After Eden Series, which takes place over seven decades in the future.
2014 will be very different than 2013 for me. Last year, we released two After Eden Books: Thy Kingdom Fall (Book #1) and Stars Scorpions (Book #2). This year we release three After Eden Books. Yes, you heard right – three, in addition to one or two “surprise” books. This of course explains my absence from the blogosphere for several months.
However, besides the occasional talk of my books on the website, my primary focus will be a discussion of the Future. The After Eden Books have driver-less cars, cyborgs, robots, “body farms,” etc. Two years, ago when I finished the first book, which also prominently featured civilian surveillance drones, there was no such thing in our own modern skies. Since then there have been civilian drones used in our cities. But the Future is not just physical, technical things but our changing culture which is the heart of my book series that ends with the explosion of World War Three or as they call it, “the First Great Tek War.” Ultimately, it is our changing society that is more fascinating (or possibly disturbing). We get the ability to grow a human being in a lab (a clone). What do we plan to do with that power? What do we allow the power to do to us? Utopia or dystopia? Always the opposite sides of the same coin on the Planet of the Humans.
