A Curious Chain of Events seeks to address the main issues of
science and philosophy. What is the difference between an object
and a concept? What is truth and love? What does it mean to be
alive, to have consciousness and intelligence? What is reality?
What does it mean to exist? What is motion and what is time? A
Curious Chain Of Events is a story about the love between a man and
his wife. Paul is a scientist and Rhonda was a philosopher. Paul is
grieving over the loss of his wife who died recently in an auto
accident. Rhonda is always on his mind, and he attempts to hold on
to her memory by obsessing over their previous conversations. They
were often on opposite sides, but Paul had learned to respect, and
even depend on Rhonda's point of view. Paul comes up with many
ideas while reliving their discussions, and is working on a number
of projects at his company's laboratories centered mostly on
synthetic biology, DNA, artificial intelligence, and various single
celled organisms. Paul will do anything to keep Rhonda's memory
alive. Anything. Paul's company, LoTech Laboratories, has developed
a new type of photo voltaic, oil eating bacteria, pollution
absorbing phytoplankton, Large Cell Technology, Smart Jeans (yes,
with a J) and more. Kept secret from the rest of HiTech Labs, Paul
and a small team have created an artifical intelligence that lives
in a neural network in a hidden lab. The story brings to the
reader's attention many philosophical ideas and ethical concerns
about the sanctity of life and bio technology. Although the story
is fiction, it is based on cutting edge science and technology. Be
prepared to stretch your imagination and your reading
comprehension. Expect to be challenged intellectually and
philosophically, to expand your borders, and to possibly step out
of your comfort zone.
