I’ve recently published my first novel, Humanity 8.0: The Last Administrator, and I thought I’d introduce it here because it sits somewhere between speculative science fiction, thriller and dystopian fiction.
Clementine is grieving her mum when a trip to Lapland leads her to something impossible beneath a frozen lake.
Humanity has been reset before.
Another reset is coming, and it cannot be stopped.
But Clementine is offered a choice. She can save thirty living people and carry their memories into whatever comes next.
And she can have her mum back.
She also ends up with a device capable of changing the conditions around people’s lives. Health, resources, risk, climate and even relationships.
At first, using it to protect the people she loves seems obvious.
Then protecting them starts to look a lot like controlling them.
The original idea came from a dream I had about humanity being reset, but the book became much more personal after I lost my own mum earlier this year. A lot of the story ended up being about grief, family, love, autonomy and what an ordinary person might actually do if they were handed far too much power.
If that sounds like your kind of sci-fi, the book is here on Goodreads:
