A month ago I published my first novel in the English language, it's based on realistic projections of scientific and social progress, but it's also an epic.
2039: following unprecedented floods, wild capitalism has turned the city of Manila into a technocratic metropolis. The vast majority of the workforce left unemployed by rising automation, unrest is quashed with limited ability.
An orphaned child getting slowly used to his full-body prosthetic befriends a young journalist who herself hopes to one day be fitted with similar implants. Together they explore options to customize their respective bodies.
Meanwhile, a secretive military contractor is tasked with gathering a strike team. Equipped with the latest weaponry, they train for a product demonstration of combat exoskeletons to a corrupt government.
Hard-science anticipation with a strong dose of cyberpunk, H+ incorporated is an epic focused on the transformation of the human condition in the technological era.
You can read the prologue and listen to the audiobook version read by Conrad Zimmerman over on my website: http://www.jean-chose.com/
Check it out, and feel free to get in touch if you care to review it! I'm an indie, self-published French author trying to make it abroad, and I could really use your help!
