Dawn of Modern Man
by Nick Plastino
Getting by outside the Hive, in the real world, like Parker Candlefish wants to, isn't as bad as the United Autonomous Network (UAN) makes it out to be, but jobs aren't easy to come by. Work in a Hive is available, it only requires that your body is in a pod, the mind can enjoy any part of the immense virtual playground that is the Cloud.
Parker needs to find a job in a hurry, as he’s in his last semester at North Mountain Academy, and what little money he gets from his parents, is about to dry up.
Alceon Fudore, powerful, distinguished and sexy, is the UAN's most outspoken member. She will stop at nothing to see a child born in the Virtual Reality Cloud. The decision, to fund reproduction research at North Mountain Academy, is met with violence and protest, from the world’s remaining God fearing humans. The turmoil around campus and the country, erupts into total chaos!
Dawn of Modern Man is a trilogy in the making.
