IMMORTALITY BYTES: Digital Minds Don't Get Hungry

One-line Story Pitch: "When an idealistic hacker's ex-girlfriend nears inventing digital immortality, an indicted tycoon compels him to steal it."

Back Cover Blurb: "Yay, free money and a life of leisure! Except... only if you never have children. Sure, a cute little version of you (but not yet so screwed up) sounds fun. But with AI robots taking more jobs, who can reject that "bargain" hoping to afford kids someday?

Stu Reigns does. He's an idealistic AI programmer and part-time influencer. His demisexual ex-girlfriend, Roxy Zhang, nears perfecting electronic immortality. Add in billionaire banking rascals, and there's no more certainty not even "Death & Taxes."

An old-money Southerner is buying Roxy's company. This infuriates a sick, rival oligarch who is about to be rightfully convicted of epic fraud. To escape to this digital eternal life, he compels Stu to steal it.

You'll never guess all the twists, but maybe the reader peering over your shoulder will."

Comparables:

It's got the heady high stakes of Ready Player One, I-Robot, Snowpiercer, and Elysium and clicks with the heist and humor of Oceans 11, Sneakers, Sorry to Bother You, Now You See Me, and Ant-Man.

If you like the clever, realistic cyberpunk of Neal Stephenson, Blake Crouch, and William Gibson, plus the humor/tone of John Scalzi and Andy Weir, then this is for you.
