I really really hate selling myself, especially to a forum of people who probably get a lot of it. I'll try to make this painless, and I hope some of you give me a shot.
I started writing this book because I really liked Deus Ex - the video game from the early 2000s. Open-ended, cyberpunk? Hell yes! I wanted to build an MMO with an idea I created from that right away. The problem was I was 14 and I had no idea how to do much coding outside of only the most rudimentary things. That wasn't going to cut it, but the story stuck with me. Then, I wrote it out. The first draft had a vampire. Stay with me, please. The final result, after a real honest start in 2008, is a book that I've poured a lot of myself into. The synopsis tells a story, but I want to sell the grander scheme here. This story is about the role of the individual and how can one person fit into the grand scheme of things. It takes the idea of the great and unique person being special, and it taints it. It also looks at transhumanism in a very pessimistic way that I don't 100% agree with, but I wanted to explore the dangers of embracing technology blindly and crossing that threshold of no return. If you want to ignore all of that, it's an action book that shouldn't take you too long to read (if I did it right). I hope you'll take the time and give me a chance. Currently, it's in pre-order on Smashwords and Amazon KDP. You can pre-order it for 99 cents right now, and on April 7th, it'll go live for $2.99. http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/528188 http://amzn.com/B00UTQODI0 |

If you could choose just one thing to change about the world, what would it be? To what extent do you shape your own destiny, and how much is down to fate? What one piece of advice would you offer to a newborn infant? What is true happiness? What is the definition of good and evil? If money cannot buy happiness, can you ever be truly happy with no money? What is true strength? How much control do you have over your life? What is freedom? What do people strive for after enlightenment? How should people live their lives? If Rishi Vishwamitra could control his senses, how can we ordinary human beings do so? Is trust more important than love? Is it easier to love or be loved? Do aliens exist? If everything evolved from amoebas, how does the world still have amoebas? Is life all a dream? What is consciousness? Can we have happiness without sadness? Is there a supreme power? Does sound happen if nothing is present to hear it? What is infinity? Does the Law of Attraction exist? Where were people before they were born? What is time? Where do thoughts come from? How can people believe in things without evidence? What is true love? Is it a wrong act okay if nobody ever knows about it? Is it OK to enjoy bad thoughts, I am not actually doing bad, right? What is morality? What is the meaning of "ShivaLingam"? Which theory is correct, evolution or creation? |

Whose idea of Redemption is this?
(from Prosthetic Amalgams) We are in the hold of a ship or something like it that is constantly shifting, rocking. The wooden surface slopes downward such that we must constantly brace ourselves to keep from slipping into the foul sewer-like muck at the bottom. It is completely dark, no light, not even a twinkle. I reach to touch my eyes, to convince myself they are there. I have no idea how long I’ve been here. I have no memory of anything beyond a short while ago but the scabs and scars covering my body indicate some sort of healing, some sort of time that has passed. The darkness is impenetrable. My thirst overcomes me. I slide carefully towards the stench below. I reach out my hand to skim what liquid I can from the surface but strike a reed or stick emerging from it. I grasp the reed to pull it up, examine it, but it pulls back resisting my attempt. I then feel the flow of air in and out, in and out. I grasp it again and tug, but it will not give, it pulls back, unwilling to let go the air from above. Kenny A. Chaffin – 1/17/2015 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TVLFTVE |
