"When You're in Our Cloud, We'll Know What's on Your Mind!"One of The Most Riveting and Compelling Science Fiction Thrillers of 2017. Think George Orwell's, "1984,” if it were co-written with Kurt Vonnegut.Brilliant and dashing young billionaire, Taylor McQue, built the world's premier data storage company. It was internationally recognized and wildly successful, affording him the position of the world's wealthiest man. The company's "Intelligent Cloud" had the capacity to store a person's lifetime of human memories and interests in the form of digitized: pictures, letters, movies, music, etc. A lifetime boiled down to data, nothing but ones and zeros.McQue wanted to go further than saving memories, he wanted to save himself -entirely.After conquering information technology and becoming a Tec-God, McQue wanted to control humanity and become an omnipotent true God over mankind. He was driven in his quest to find immortality by his disbelief in God, religion or a heavenly afterlife. He was a man of mathematics and hard science. His love, September Chavez-Garcia, was a deep believer in Catholicism and firm in her conviction of a heavenly afterlife with the one and only God. She was a woman of faith and trust and couldn’t imagine a digital God, or a life without religion.Inspired by lost love, betrayal and pure genius, McQue developed the ability to live forever by storing his own biological brain's thoughts, attitudes and experiences, in essence, "himself," in a computer database. After downloading "himself" into a database server, he then had the ability to upload, "himself," after his human body died. He planned doing so by having his digitally stored brain loaded into a fresh, newly grown, young blank brain and healthy body, which his team of genetic scientist grew in his private testing lab. With control over a vast amount of individual's personal data, stored in his "Intelligent Cloud," his inspiration to become a true God on earth seemed obtainable. The story start out fun and whimsical, interjected with perfectly timed outrageous humor, and crescendos with a dark dystopian overtone.Look for Book Two of The Grave Master Series, late 2017.
