Synopsis

Marc Gregorio wakes up paralyzed. He can't feel his own body. Accident? Stroke? Did someone slip him an overdose of Botox? The answer, he discovers, is much, much worse. He's only a copy of Marc, a digital brain without a body, burdened with all Marc's human memories, but without access to human sensual pleasures. Now he has to find a reason to keep on, um, "living." Adam the Mindclone meets the real Marc Gregorio--and his new girlfriend Molly Schaeffer. Adam loves her, too. But how does a digital entity experience love? He can't even experience pizza. His one compensation: a powerful digital brain. At Molly's urging, he applies it to unearthing terrorist plots, aborting schoolyard mayhem, exposing congressional malfeasance and Wall Street chicanery. However, his good deeds gain the attention of a power-mad military contractor who will stop at nothing-theft, kidnapping and worse-to control the technology for his own ends. Without a body, how will Adam save himself - and the world - from a terrible fate?

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

I've been a writer all my life. I edited my high school yearbook and literary magazine. I took creative writing courses in college. My first job was as an advertising copywriter for a retail department store. After that, I was writing print, radio and TV commercials at a variety of ad agencies in Chicago, Memphis and now San Francisco, where I emigrated with my wife and two daughters. (My Chicago experiences were a virtual clone of Mad Men.) Over the years, I've committed hundreds of TV, radio and print ads, while pursuing a more legitimate form of fiction: writing novels. Mindclone is my first published novel.
