Summary of Beyond Future Shock
One of the most far-looking, fact-grounded works of science fiction in recent memory, newcomer Alaniz presents a horrifying yet hopeful view of 21st century life and beyond...bordering on the unbelievable but remaining tensely and intriguingly positioned within the possible, Beyond Future Shock is a must-have for those living at the cusp of the 21st century, and is sure to inspire a phalanx of imitators. Alaniz is surely an author to watch. . .and definitely to read. Ellen Tanner Marsh, New York Times Best Selling Author ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Beyond Future Shock begins as a pre-WWII love story that flows into an allegory and, ultimately, a powerful morality tale. When two German lovers marry, their jealous, scientific peer, who has become a fervent Nazi, exposes the young woman and her Jewish family. The plot moves quickly, from concentration camps to the Luftwaffe, designing jets for the Americans to working on nuclear bombs with the Russians, and into the future where human minds are uploaded into super mind-space servers designed to be used as weapons to control the Earth. This novel demands an answer to this question: What will become of mankind in the not-so-distant future, when we are faced with the dire consequences of our own trans-corporeal fusion into machines. . .and beyond?General Books
