Babylon Dreams
About
“You tore the edge between heaven and earth and oh the worlds that beckoned--Gunter, what happened?”
” . . . a challenging but compelling vision of a privatized, synthetic heaven slowly eaten away by ungodly capitalism, cupidity, and the sins of its founder. . . A keen and absorbing what-if tale about VR and a digital afterlife.” -Kirkus Reviews
In 2182, death is not inevitable.
Gunter Holden, CEO of Virtual Enterprises, Inc. resides in Bali Hai, an after-death VR Eden. An old program, Bali Hai’s sun is often in the wrong place; strange fish swim in its seas. Gunter fears the memories he is forced to relive as his files fragment, while rumors of a merger threaten his control of Bali Hai. A new patch may help. Miranda, the AI advises him to recount his past to Tom, another virtual resident. Gunter’s past is unsavory, especially the hidden murders. He discarded those who loved him. Why would Tom help? But Tom has his own secrets.
Buried, deep in his past, Gunter discovers a terrible secret. And Babylon Dreams waits for him.
