Dubbed the "next Ready Player One," by former Warner Brothers
President Greg Silverman, and now in film development at Lionsgate.
"Featuring themes similar to Blake Crouch's Dark Matter, the dense
sci-fi feel of a Michael Crichton thriller and clever Douglas Adams-like
charm, the book posits an intriguing future that is both inviting and
horrific." --Brian Truitt, USA TODAY
It's the year 2147. Advancements in nanotechnology have enabled us to
control aging. We've genetically engineered mosquitoes to feast on
carbon fumes instead of blood, ending air pollution. And teleportation
has become the ideal mode of transportation, offered exclusively by
International Transport--the world's most powerful corporation, in a
world controlled by corporations.
Joel Byram spends his days training artificial-intelligence engines to
act more human and trying to salvage his deteriorating marriage. He's
pretty much an everyday twenty-second century guy with everyday
problems--until he's accidentally duplicated while teleporting.
Now Joel must outsmart the shadowy organization that controls
teleportation, outrun the religious sect out to destroy it, and find a
way to get back to the woman he loves in a world that now has two of
him.
