There is an entire section at the back of my new near future release DISPASSIONATE LIES that outlines the news, technology and science headlines that inspired the story about the collapse of the internet, the global economy and the judicial system. It was written to provoke discussion and spark preparation for new technologies and their abuses and uses. 

 

"...brilliant storyline..."

"...a fast-paced and enjoyable read"

“Romance, suspense and technological thrills round out this wonderful sci-fi novel.”

"A highly recommended read to all fans of futuristic fiction."
