Produktbeschreibung

An exile from a dystopian future is thrown back into the 21st century. A reluctant time traveler, he is determined to avert the catastrophic era that expelled him. His best chance is a smart, beautiful geneticist. She may turn out to be an enemy or a lover -- or both. It's a dangerous romance.

His only other ally is a time-shifting stranger who is trying to steer him around multiple disastrous possible futures. The conflict is turning into the exile's personal time war.

There are other strangers, crowds of them, some are trying to help him, most are trying to stop him. Dating is hell when you're a villain, or a hero... depending on the timeline that counts you as part of its history. He manages to recruit help from a major corporation by force-evolving a defensive software system. That same artificial intelligence computer will eventually count as one of his ancestors, since he is partly a product of human design.

The initial time anomaly is at an isolated beach on Puget Sound. The final anomaly is a confrontation in the middle of the Seattle.

The well-meaning, time-shifting stranger is barely ahead of the complications. To say nothing of the dog.

Autorenporträt

Adam Abels is an example of a recently evolved hominid. He is a retired biologist who monitors artificial intelligence as it evolves to rise from artificial stupidity. He also tracks the evolution of alternate energy generation and storage. He suspects that most of those attempts will prove impractical. Evolution is blind: it doesn't know what will work until something does. When in absolute ignorance; try anything. Workable tech will emerge. The same may be true for social media.

Adam has three biological children. He has zero non-biological children, so far. Also, a wife, who doesn't try to run his life. As opposed the array of household technical devices. To say nothing of the dog.

Never ask Adam what his favorite microbe is. He'll tell you at great length.

His favorite (rare and endangered) animal is the Pacific Northwest tree octopus. Pandas get far too much attention. Octopuses are more huggy but less furry.

Adam writes about near-future technologies and their complications. Mostly about people who misuse the tech. And the people, and the tech itself, who are (and which) are fighting back.
