Psychological thriller that pits the god of technology against the one true God in a dialectic of salvation.
One day we wake up and the world has changed. Maybe our spouse files for divorce, or we are fired from a job, or we discover an insidious disease. The EvEnt that reveals such shocks seems a surprise, but the heralded change had been growing from seeds planted long before. Our degree of surprise at the new paradigm's arrival correlates to our attentiveness. Change hides in plain sight, and then arrives, a new normal. Welcome To Bravo...
Jim's reverie of numbness was broken with a melodic voice penetrating, then reverberating, in his brain. "Welcome To Bravo." The computer generated curator had just ingested his father from a card of glass. How had it come to this? he wondered.
The Chairman of Everlasting Enterprises, Charon Mausolus had sown the seeds now smacking Jim with sobriety years prior. EvEnt's upload technology allowed Jim's father, and all people, the opportunity for everlasting life. After all, Humans Eternally Living Life was his offering. "No soul left behind!"
Anyte Kuh instinctively knew EvEnt's Faustian bargain for what it was, and struggled under the heavy, wet blanket of suffocation that comes with seeing an apocalyptic danger others welcome. In a prescient moment, spawned from her Mezo-American meditation, she acts. And ritually sets in motion a counter-revolution that entwines her essence with others, en-route to a destiny of self-sacrifice and love.
In rejection of sanitized self-sustainment, Kuh and her crew do the gritty, individually-flawed, road to discovery of old-school salvation, availing in the immediately accessible Love they had been swindled of for so long.
This philosophical thriller fits directly in the "Oh, shit! That could happen tomorrow..." realm of Sci Fi, and could be placed on shelves right next to 1984, The Matrix, Brave New World, or Terminator. The slow-burn start explodes into a Stephen King-like remake of The Da Vinci Code. A parochial undertone gets supercharged by an adventurous romp to revelation, which the protagonists struggle to see - the loss of the organic human condition of free will, and the inexorable eradication of the Divine world that enabled it.
