Lore update: 

The moral implications of a completely customizeable human genome have not been resolved by the time of Tantalus Depths. Most parents only want to use this technology to ensure the lifelong health of their children, but some may make alterations that are morally ambiguous. Where would you stand on this issue? And how does this technology play into the lives of the Diamelen’s crew?

This week I’d like to use my author spotlight to bring your attention to one of the top-level entrants in the Nerdist competition: Destiny Imperfect.
 

This book promises to be an absolute mindscrew. The idea of a world where virtual reality and actual reality are so closely intertwined that it’s a challenge just to differentiate between the two is so full of potential. The places this story can explore from a psychological standpoint are endless, and based only on what I’ve seen so far, it looks like Destiny Imperfect is going to throw me into a full-on existential crisis. But in a good way.

Seriously check out this book. I want it on my shelf right now.
