The God Gene

It’s an Age of Abundance. No longer do humans want for having their basic needs met. Arguably, they live better than kings of old. But despite this, it’s the intelligence explosion that’s stealing the limelight. Technological innovations coming so rapidly that they create a backlash.

At one end of the spectrum are people like Gecko, who can’t get enough of self-transcendence, who are lost to the eternal need for “becoming” more than they are. At the other end of the spectrum are people like Nova, who are more interested in “being” and enjoying all that they are in the here and now. And refuse to keep their eye to the future. In the middle are people like Corona. Her aim is to strike a balance between both extremes, those who can’t wait to get over themselves with breaking technologies, and those who have no desire to.

The three philosophical viewpoints cease to make for simple idle coffee house conversation when the three fall into a relationship. The late-year teens, on the cusp of adulthood, find their coming of age story and their ménage-a-trois swallowed up in a coming of age story for the entire planet. Will they find what they need in one another to live through it? And does the future have more in store for them than simply surfing the wave of explosive innovation without taking a header off the board? The first clue to answering those questions comes when the planetary UberMind tries to kill them.

NOTE: THE NOVELS IN THE AGE OF ABUNDANCE SERIES ARE STAND-ALONE BOOKS THAT CAN BE READ IN ANY ORDER.
