Woe Man

by Bob Anderson

Now watch what happens when 25 different security cameras capture a shocking and impossible transformation on video, and the images threaten humanity’s survival. Will Shelly figure out what’s really at stake before those in power get their way? Will her stubborn refusal to believe in God keep her from accepting all the miracles seemingly geared toward her protection? And perhaps more importantly, can she trust unexpected offers of help after a life where rejection and cruelty are the norm?Shelly is a whirlwind on steroids. She’s unpredictable, focused, intuitive, flawed, intelligent, and apparently indestructible. No matter what you think when you discover her darkest secret, you’re bound to love her in the end. Woe Man is a story of personal triumph. It speaks to the challenge of becoming the person we want to be when everyone else tries to define us. It’s also a warning of the dangers of rapid technological change. Woe Man turns our world on its head. Whether it’s ball-lightning, smart drugs, miracles, prophesy, God, sex-change, androids, nano-technology, artificial intelligence, genetics, or the Apocalypse, Woe Man has it all.Woe Man is author Bob Anderson’s first book. His others include the murder mystery series 55 Plus or Minus.

Intersting story extrapolating technology

This book made me think about GOD more than I have in the previous 72 years (I am old) Being an engineer, I cannot fathom that there might really be GOD.

I will find out soon enough though.

I hope there is no heaven or shell. I want to go to neither of those places.
