Comedy: The Avatar and the Brain-Computer Interface
Michele was born during the great pandemic of 2020 to a former U.S. President. Twenty years later, she takes on big business, big tech, big government—and loses big time.
In 2190 Donnie became the most advanced cyborg in the solar system. The Global Government desperately tries to pacify the ninety-eight percent of the population with nothing to do except consume goods—only one percent must work thanks to robots and AI. The Global Government controls all with the top one percent elite. Some consider this heaven. Donnie considers it hell and swears to do something about it.
Donnie and Michele’s journey through life has many parallels—childhood, University, and an idealistic belief that they can change the world for the better. Michele hides a secret that Donnie finds 150 years later. A secret so powerful that it can change everything--if only Donnie can find a way.
Written by a Marine, futurist, engineer, and philosopher who started his career in the 1970s, helping to commercialize the internet, Mike believes that we are just now experiencing the birth of a revolution that will follow the Industrial and Digital Revolutions. He calls this the Cyborg Revolution, where Artificial Intelligence, also known as AI, is interconnected with the human brain. Like previous revolutions, every aspect of government, society, technology, and philosophy will change in this new world order.
The story starts with three preludes, followed by Michele describing her early childhood in 2034 and Donnie describing his childhood in 2180. How do these two childhoods, separated by almost 150 years, compare? How about later phases of life? How do society, technology, and philosophy change between the two time periods? Read and find out! Enjoy?
