This is a speculative work set in the year 2060+, when we may find out how the human brain works in enough detail to replicate a human, a sentient lifeform I have called "transapient" (TRANSformation of homo SAPien into a sentIENT being). The novel explores the human - transapient relationship and where it could take us. An untimely death of school teacher Alf Butler sets the scene for the creation of the first transapient lifeform.

Phillip Smith works for the British government in West Berlin during the cold war in the early 1970’s. He doesn’t have what anyone would call a normal job. His day job is to locate East Germans who may be able to help the effort to defeat communism in exchange for their liberty in the West.He is challenged to do the right thing for others, to help save a nation from a communist dictatorship. He finds himself caught in the middle of a complex political landscape on the wrong side of a wall that was built to divide a nation. Unable to trust anyone, unable to find his way out, unable to do what he sacrificed himself to do.In a city of ten thousand spies, Phillip is forced to hide among the people he swore to save as he tries to change the course of modern political history.

Upon coming back to Chicago after grad school, I made the decision to work directly with underprivileged youth. I have done work in group homes, with foster kids, in various city high schools and juvenile detention centers. I’ve done all of this while living in areas of the city that are predominantly African-American. The manner in which I see young men handle one another has become increasingly alarming to me the older I become. Now that I have brought children of my own into the world, my concern continues to grow.This behavior has disturbed me so much that I will try and struggle to find it in my travels of the world. Of the places I have gone, the only time I see such conflict is in nature. Betta fish, or the Siamese fighting fish, share many qualities with African-Americans. They are extremely resilient and territorial. If in close proximity to one another, they will fight willingly to the death. The males and females can only come around each other briefly to mate and must then be separated or they will kill one another. Because of the nature of these animals, they are perpetually on the verge of extinction. The Journey of the Betta Fish is not only a reference to my own lifespan, but to the one we share as African- Americans.
