My novel 'The Mirror' has been published recently. This is the first description:
It is 2073 and a young girl, Mia, is brought up in a megacity. As she approaches her sixteenth birthday she becomes increasingly aware of going to the 'resort' and leaving the city for the first (and possibly) last time. She knows the resort is a rite of passage but it is also a mystery.
Mia's world is run by ELK (Earthly Living Kingdom) who are a powerful and controlling elite. They are attempting to live forever and aim to create self-perpetuating, mostly biological AI which a human consciousness can inhabit. Already AI is an established presence in the life of the city.
This is a dystopian novel which also captures the indefatigable spirit of humanity. It's both a thriller and a romance. It asks who and what we are and where our place will be in the future. Are we more than a biological body, do we possess something that AI can never have?
In the cities of the future, non-Elkian humans have little worth – except, that is, for the most beautiful and intelligent.
