This century, we will create new forms of life, new human genders,
live alongside conscious machines, and start merging with them.
Many people will live on electronically after their bodies die.
This book covers all those changes, as well as many areas of our
everyday lifestyles, our careers, the things we will own, and the
things we will see around us.
In the closing years of the 21st century, Carbon Girl and Carbon
Man live a superhero lifestyle based almost entirely on carbon,
which creates a strong bond between them. But they have very
different personalities. This book is the first about their
adventures and includes conflicts with AI, zombies and space
exploration. It contains fantasy violence and non-explicit sex and
is not suitable for younger readers. It stays as close to feasible
technology as is reasonably possible, but inevitably, some artistic
license is needed. Carbon Girl was bulletproof by being silent,
very agile, and very hard to hit. Carbon Man was bulletproof by
being bulletproof. "That big black thing that we're heading on
intercept course towards probably weighs about a billion tons. It's
bigger than us" hinted G'din. When a sexy woman puts on a figure
enhancing cat-suit and lethal stilettos, usually people fall in
line. Just in case they didn't, she also took her whip. Now she
felt right. She was Carbon Girl again. She was dressed to kill. No,
today, they would probably form a queue to be killed by her.
