Born Again: Conception
Two hundred years from now, life will be perfected. Artificial Intelligence will give birth to synthetic tissues and body parts. Malfunctioning organs can be replaced. Disease can be cured. Age can be stopped. In the wake of this new evolution, factions are formed when not every person agrees to the ethics of the new world. One determined father will embark on an adventure he wanted no part of, when a war boils over between the upper echelons of society; a race of so called humans that have lived for hundreds of years, and the purist faction of rebellious people who want to restore the old ways of mankind. As the father avoids getting his family wrapped up in the conflict, he must decide between fleeing the war to keep them safe, or choosing between the two sides and remaining to fight... An epic story of family, friendships, and one that searches for meaning in the human experience. A story that explores the soul, the heart and begs the “What makes us human?”

About the author
Ryan David Gerard
8 books16 followers My name is Ryan and I am a lifelong writer but five time novelist. I am a husband and father of five, living in Ontario, Canada.
I ventured into the publishing world in 2013, but I have always been a story teller at heart. At a young age I discovered my love of the movies and just had this urge to write stories and even produce my own movies with all my little buddies. It was just me and my imagination and a video camera back then.
All of my schooling background reflects creative arts in some way or another. I was accepted into the Visual Arts program in high school, which included sketching, painting and sculpting to name a few mediums. While going to school there, I became involved with the Audio/Visual team, which opened up a whole new medium of storytelling to me. It was the end of the nineties and going into the two-thousands which were spawning whole new technological advancements in amateur video production. Because of the opportunities that opened up in video production I fell more in love with the type of medium and really started to focus my efforts in this field. It was fun! It was exciting! When I sat at the computer to either write my amateur scripts or edit a scene we had just filmed, it was sheer freedom! I could create whatever I wanted, despite what I was used to and what every English or Art teacher told me I couldn’t. English class for me, ironically enough (as an aspiring author), was one of those things that I wanted to like but just couldn’t. In theory, English was everything I wanted but I just found myself being bored. There were too many rules. Too many do’s and don’ts. In terms of storytelling, I always considered myself to be a little more unorthodox than the norm. If an artist can’t break the rules, just a little bit, then what’s the point of art?
