Goodreads Sci-Fi/Fantasy Authors discussion

"Artificial intelligence, robotics, biotechnology, transhumanism, virtual reality and the exploration of what future society might be like in that setting.
In a nutshell it is a classic battle of enlightened reason versus lust for domination in a world divided between those who understand, use and keep developing new technology and those who don't. New knowledge and technology have a tremendous power in transforming the world but, as always, many fear the outcome while others welcome it. The inspiration for the book comes from these two opposing outlooks and is reflected in the characters and situations of the narrative giving the book its dynamic. But of course within the big picture there still remain all the doubts, dramas and contradictions of life as we know it."
NOTE:
- Phase 2, which is due to appear in 2017, delves deeper into the evolution and development of humans and society into the far future. It follows the path begun in Phase 1 to logical conclusions which some people might find truly shocking.
