Horizon Now

This is the tagline VirtueLife has used for decades to entice the seething masses of unemployed to walk into any of their Virtualization clinics and leave the resource-starved Earth behind.

The procedure is a simple periphectomy. They’ll unburden you of your high-carbon-footprint body and place you into their high-tech storage jars, from which you can join the virtualized civilization living across fantastic and impossible worlds simulated to real-life fidelity through a sophisticated cloud server net… so long as you make your payments.

Horizon Now follows the story of Laura Mendez, a cultural outcast and under-appreciated designer who builds fantasy worlds for virtual billionaires, as she gets caught up in the web of a clandestine military project which seeks to profit from the fusion of advanced AI with the human brain.

After receiving feedback, I have temporarily put a hold on releasing chapters. So that I can coincide the release of this book online along with a published novel available for purchase. This will be a few months, but chapter releases will resume eventually, and this book will remain free here on this website.
