It’s the year 2147. Advancements in nanotechnology have enabled us to control aging. We’ve genetically engineered mosquitoes to feast on carbon fumes instead of blood, ending air pollution. And teleportation has become the ideal mode of transportation, offered exclusively by International Transport – a secretive firm headquartered in New York City. Their slogan: Departure…Arrival…Delight!
Joel Byram, our smartass protagonist, is an everyday 22nd century guy. He spends his days training artificial-intelligence engines to act more human, jamming out to 1980s new wave – an extremely obscure genre – and trying to salvage his deteriorating marriage. Joel is pretty much an everyday guy with everyday problems – until he’s accidentally duplicated while teleporting. Now Joel must outsmart the shadowy organization that controls teleportation, outrun the religious sect out to destroy it, and find a way to get back to the woman he loves in a world that now has two of him.
There’s no more pollution because genetically engineered mosquitoes suck carbon dioxide out of the air It’s the year 2147 and nanotechnology reigns supreme! There’s no more pollution because genetically engineered mosquitoes suck carbon dioxide out of the air. Cars drive themselves and chits are used to pay for travel. But the highlight of this world lies in teleportation, the ability to travel anywhere in the world in literally seconds. It’s all controlled by International Transport, a company where Sylvia, Joel Byram’s wife, works. The company is into changing life for the better, all…
