Patrick Johnson is rich. Really rich. -- He’s also old. Really old.

Medical technology has advanced tremendously by 2050, but his strange degenerative neurological condition is baffling the medical team at his private institute.

A widower, with a greedy dysfunctional son, his days appear to be numbered. That is until he’s given a presentation by a pharmaceutical company with an exciting new gene re-sequencing technology that can repair the damage to DNA in animals.

The RESET procedure can return the DNA of every cell in the body to any point in the animal’s life, provided there is a ’template’ sample from that time. Old, dieing animals can be restored to their youthful state in a matter of days.

The shadowy PharmaTek management is seeking investment to take the technology to the next level.

When Patrick tells them he’ll invest at twice the valuation they are asking for they are thrilled. -- There’s only one catch: they have to use it on him.

This is my first work of fiction. I’ll be sharing chapters / updates as the book develops.

I’d love the chance to knock ideas around and explore where folks think society and technology will evolve by 2050-60.

Patrick is a veteran of Gulf War One. A lot’s changed since then (even here in 2018). Computers, mobile, genetic engineering and a huge range of other technological changes. For society as well we’ve seen massive changes for women, gays and ethnic minorities. The world power dynamic has also shifted and we’re watching the ascension of India and China on the world stage.

How ’out of water’ will this fish from 1991 be in 2050? How will he handle the dark forces and agencies that are now after him?

Come along for the drafting of a book where a senior-league roller derby queen, two AIs and a ’slightly unbalanced’ English Special Forces veteran embark on a quest to find and save their friend!

Looking forward to your thoughts and comments!

Regards,

John
