Hello readers, whether you are human, android or sophisticated computer AIs.

Let me begin my extending my thanks for your interest in The Life Engineered. It's been a stressful couple of weeks getting to understand how this crowdfunding thing works and how to grab people's interest without pestering them too much. This campaign is a work in progress as I try to add incentives and benefits to backing my book while keeping up with the demands of finding new readers and grabbing their attention.

However I don't want to forget those who've already committed to the cause or who are keeping an eye on my progress for now. As I currently work to add a book trailer to the campaign page, I find myself sketching out several robots in order to have a few visuals in the video. One of these seemed pleasing enough to my friends and I ended up making an iPhone wallpaper from the illustration. You can find versions for iPhone 5, 6 and 6+ by clicking here. I will be looking at adding Android versions in the future.

Again; thank you for your support. If you haven't pre-ordered yet, please consider doing so soon and if you know anyone for whom a book about sentient robots fighting to protect their civilization from slipping into civil was would be interesting, please point them in my direction.

Regards,

JFDubeau
