IMMORTALITY: Epocalypse
About IMMORTALITY: Epocalypse:
In the aftermath of the Epocalypse, the paradise of Babylon thrives in isolation safeguarded by a pair of Artificial Intelligences. For those deemed worthy, immortalization is within reach of a chosen few but they will pay a price far greater than anyone imagined for eternal life.
“Immortality” is a gripping page-turner that thrusts the reader into 2063, where Mankind faces existential obsolescence with the advent of synthetic eternal life. As the conflict between technological advancement and spiritual integrity intensifies, the battle to define immortality, divinity, and humanity is further complicated by the enigmatic nature of consciousness itself.
An exploration of Man’s view of himself, through the lens of self-perception, and one’s belief in a life beyond that of their mortal self. It is a cautionary tale. Like a toddler with a handgun, or Oppenheimer’s Manhattan Project, humanity invites disastrous consequences when our capabilities outstrip our competence.
Immortality is already getting high praise from critics
“A compelling, frightening look into the future as A.I. rules the world and determinesoutcomes. ‘Immortality’ delves into the inherent conflict between seeking eternal lifethrough the use of machines and trying to live without them.
This post-apocalyptic talemakes for a thrilling ride to a life of robot rule and beyond.”
John J. Kelly, Detroit Free Press
“A novel written by someone who knows advanced computing and human behavior extremely well, will take you down AI paths you never imagined…Keep an open mind and buckle up for a fascinating ride through time, space, energy and life.”
Brad Butler, Author, “Without Redemption”5-Stars
“Readers will both be engulfed by the story and provoked into thought about a question that scientists, theologists, philosophers, storytellers, politicians, and free-thinkers have asked for decades: Could Artificial Intelligence, as it keeps moving toward its full potential, evolve or destroy humanity?”
Chris Cordani, Host of Book Spectrum, 5-stars
“A completely captivating epic saga – and an invitation to consider all possibilities of AI…Brilliant!”
Grady Harp, Amazon Top 100 Hall of Fame Reviewer, 5-Stars
“This is a prescient thriller that will leave one breathless and wanting to read again!”
Kathryn Picard, Librarian Book Connoisseur, 5-Stars

Safety checks …
purely optional
Twins Jonathon and Nickolas Milarum work for Qurkition galaxy’s largest children’s entertainment company, IAFE. They are its worst employees. They are also flat broke, supremely bored, and dislike children. Quite the trifecta considering their family owns the business in question — It’s All for Effect.
When a glitch in the IAFE booking system gives the brothers the chance to take on a profitable, though questionable, side-hustle — event managing the largest celebration that Zertian 11 has ever seen — they jump at the chance to clear their mountain of debt. The fact that the gig is to celebrate a ruthless criminal overlord’s birth-cycle day, oh that, and his triumph over a rival mob family, is of minor concern as ethics had left that building long ago.
Joined by their new apprentice, Berkely Bing-Beekeson, and their spaceship’s gambling junkie computer, M011y, the brothers set out to seek their fame and fortune in the event entertainment business.

The Tao of Star Trek: Finding Your Inner Self Through Outer Space (Volume 2): What Sun Tzu and Lao Tzu Teach us about the Dueling Philosophies of War and Peace in the Very Best Star Trek Stories by Dr. Joseph D. Di Lella
About The Tao of Star Trek: Finding Your Inner Self Through Outer Space (Volume 2): What Sun Tzu and Lao Tzu Teach us about the Dueling Philosophies of War and Peace in the Very Best Star Trek Stories by Dr. Joseph D. Di Lella:
Similar in tone and content in book one of this series,The Tao of Star Trek: Finding Your Inner Self Through Outer Space (Volume Two), examines the very best stories of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager with an application of important ideas on war and peace as introduced by Sun Tzu and Lao Tzu centuries ago.
In just over ninety Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager stories reviewed in volume two, the book also links important concepts or proverbs attributed to either Sun Tzu or Lao Tzu with character arcs and problems in contemporary society.
In each lesson associated with specific Star Trek tales, story interpretation is used to show how the heroes – and villains, demonstrate the best and worst of human qualities as they attempt to work out problems in an interpersonal, inter-species or interplanetary way. Once these tales are reviewed, and prominent characters discussed, readers can more easily see how Taoist and militaristic ideas propel their favorite good and evil Bajoran, Ferengi, Cardassian, and others towards the right and wrong decisions in typical human dilemmas found in life and death matters.
Throughout this book, Star Trek stories in general are used as metaphors to illustrate the two Chinese philosophers wisdom in mini-lessons, applying their ideas to current day events. As such, Gene Roddenberry’s use of science fiction as an arena of social commentary works in an intellectual manner and not only for entertainment purposes. Thus, Star Trek can act as a self-help guide, showing us how to improve our personal outlook on society and ourselves. We need not surrender to violent tendencies commonly found in humanity, but should focus on the peaceful potential deep inside of all of us.
At the end of every story analyzed in this book, Everyday Reflections and Everyday Actions are recommended for the reader to take to heart and consider in their lives. Each Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager story discussed in this book provides an important lesson that we can tie into either historical or current day situations as well.
The author challenges the reader to connect Lao Tzu and Sun Tzu’s ideas to their everyday lives.
By taking a positive, proactive role in our everyday life with others, Star Trek stories can give direction for both self-improvement with interactions with others and in society in general.
Looking closely, we can more easily see why Captain Benjamin Sisko and Captain Kathryn Janeway made leadership decisions that shaped not only their crews but the lives of millions of other species across various quadrants of the galaxy?. If we examine the philosophy of Taoism and military leaders of the past, we can more easily understand their motives to preserve justice, life and freedom for their corners of the galaxy.
It is this author’s hope that the reader finds a personal road map on how to conduct his/herself in this complicated and dangerous world through the very human stories of Star Trek.
