"Poverty, terrorism, murder, disease, homelessness, hopelessness,
hunger and death; all cease to exist in 2049." Aeternum Ray is a
sweeping, yet intimate story of mankind's next renaissance that
will appeal to fans of visionaries Isaac Asimov, Gene Roddenberry
and Ray Kurzweil. The novel is a collection of emotional personal
letters written by 240-year-old William Babington to his newborn
son Benjamin. Having lived a full life, William has experienced
everything from death to his rebirth into the utopian Aeternum; an
advanced computer system shepherded by the omnipotent artificial
intelligence Ray. William pens the highlights of his existence,
love, and loss while reflecting on the centuries of wonder he has
witnessed firsthand. His humble letters form a detailed memoir that
is intertwined with humanity's greatest triumphs, the technological
singularity, and the solemn burden of surviving Earth's darkest
night of terror. Through the light and dark times of the near
future, Aeternum Ray departs from dystopian themes and brings back
the uplifting notion of utopian speculative ideals.
