A book taking place not only in the future, but in the unknown of space. You know, beyond from where the
moon
lies and
the stars shine. The narrator within these pages is a creative interpretation of a hero. Within
the
first
few
chapters, the trials our main character faces, will make you question you'r own mentall courage. And
fortitude.
If you are the kind of reader that can easily dive into a character's shoes, to savor the motions and events of
the story. Then this here is a series for you!
Would you upload your conscious?
Bob Johansson has just sold his software company and is looking forward to a life of leisure. There are
places
to go,
books to read, and movies to watch. So it's a little unfair when he gets himself killed crossing the street.
Bob wakes up 117 years later to find cryogenically frozen people have been declared dead and to be without
rights. He is
now the property of the state, a government called FAITH. He has been uploaded into computer hardware and is
slated to
be the controlling AI for an interstellar probe looking for habitable planets. The stakes are high: no less
than
the
first claim to entire worlds. If he declines the honor, he'll be switched off, and they'll try again with
someone else.
If he accepts, he becomes a prime target. There are at least three other countries trying to get their own
probes
launched first, and they play dirty.
Just the way the author creatively manages to form a picture of a conscious being dowloaded to a computer is
brilliant. In my opinion the idea of just having my conscious, self awareness and no physical body. Scares
me.
Though Bob's humor and adament thoughts, encouraged my reading. After reading this book, I try to confront
my
day to days dilemmas, by using Bob's way of enduring his challanges through out the story.
With little equipment and quick thinking Bob takes on his opponents. The best way I can describe how Bob
does it
is, " Make duo with what you have. "
