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.
