I'd like to introduce my fellow Goodreads sci-fi aficionados to my debut Science Fiction novel Autonomy. Autonomy has been out a few weeks, and has received good reviews. Set about 60 years in the future, the novel explores some of the many directions human evolution may take and confronts the conflicts within our human culture that threaten the present and future potential of our species.
When Cal Sheldon puts himself into an artificial coma and loads his mind onto the advanced computer he and his university colleagues secretly designed, he leaves behind a dying Earth and discovers new life in the world they’ve created. This breakthrough gives rise to an underground community and launches an illegal scientific renaissance. But can they stay ahead of those who would destroy them? And do they have the courage to embrace a radical plan for survival, one that might give them the freedom they seek, but could cost them their very humanity?
Autonomy is available in print from Red Anemone Books and Amazon, and as an eBook in kindle and epub format.
