| My forthcoming science fiction novella Two Thirds of a God will be available March 25, 2025. The art was done by the great British artist Mike Church. Here’s the story: Eleanor Burton is head of R&D for the nearly complete OrbitNet space-based internet system when she receives a fatal diagnosis. With two months to live, she becomes the guinea pig for a friend’s brain scanning experiment, and the next thing she knows, she is a virtual human, a program running on the primary OrbitNet satellite. Did her situation arise from a chain of coincidences or someone’s master plan? And can she stop a plot to control the entire planet? “The novel succeeds both as a character study of a digital being and as a techno-thriller. A post-human entity proves to be the most relatable character in this engaging cyberthriller.” —Kirkus Reviews |  |
