Interface Book One: Connection
After a global collapse, the world teeters on the edge of disappearance. A familiar power, corrupt and unabashed, seeks to lay claim to the lives of those who remain. Beyond its borders are those who believe in a different way and fight for an elusive freedom.
Orphaned child, Emerson Lloyde, dreams of flying. He is cared for by his grandfather, Chandler Estes, in the wilderness of the North American continent. After his grandfather's death, Emerson goes to the city and learns to fly, but though the dream is fulfilled, the freedom that it represents eludes him.
Through tragedy and adventure, Emerson outmaneuvers traps and political intrigue. With his three partners, he becomes the bearer of an unforeseen hope, a hope that even he struggles to understand. Across the Inland Sea, in the mythological west, a new world awaits.
Interface questions our reliance on technology with the irony of a people who can no longer manufacture the tools and products they have become dependent on. The story illustrates our society from the vantage of a not-too-distant future. It is a story about image, power and truth. But most of all, it is a story about us seen from a great distance.

Incredible world build!
I greatly enjoyed this read, enough to turn around and re-read it again after finishing the first time. As expected, there were bits I missed the first time burning through to see what happens next. The story is...on purpose. Even if a moment doesn't move things along, it helps with understanding. Everything feels.... necessary. The characters are robust (not good or bad, just human!), and the world build is incredible. The author could tack on another hundred pages and it wouldn't feel unwieldy. If you have a taste for post apocalyptic stories with one foot planted firmly in speculative fiction and the other in your backyard, you will absolutely enjoy this. Can't wait for the next installment!

great classic sci-go
This book reminded me of great sci-fi from the past, Heinlen, Asimov and others. It posits an imaginable dystopian future resulting from know issues currently being ignored or disregarded.
The science makes sense. The future makes sense. The triumph of a free thinker unencumbered by the double speak and programming reinforces my understanding that knowledge is the most important thing to hand down to our children.
I read this in just a few sittings. It was a great read.
