The topic is the first sentence of my novel End Man, of which Kirkus Reviews says, “An engrossing and well-crafted SF tale with timely themes.” I posted the ten first chapters on Wattpad, a reading site at https://www.wattpad.com/story/2778564...
Sometimes Goodreads truncates URLs, taking you to a novel that has nothing to do with my novel. If that happens email me at alaust70@aol.com. Below is a synopsis of the novel. If you like the material on Wattpad, I'll gladly send you a doc or PDF of the novel. Just message me.
The novel takes chances and isn't quite like anything else out there.
Thanks,

Synopsis Afflicted with dromophobia, the fear of crossing streets, 26-year-old Raphael Lennon must live out his life in the one square mile that surrounds his Los Angeles home. Fortunately, the area provides everything an artistically sensitive person needs, including a job at Norval, an oddball company that tracks and markets the online remains of the deceased. Raphael's specialty is unearthing "possums," people faking their deaths. His new assignment is Jason Klaes, an allegedly dead physicist who is perhaps creating afterlives for the Internet-era deceased based on their social media content. Raphael must break out of his phobic prison to solve the Klaes Case and thwart his company's entry into a chilling spin-off of its product.
