MarsX

My next release is a novel called MarsX. It is the story of how mankind settles the red planet. Except, it's not the usual story. The motivation is the key and that's tied to the development of AI.

When I wrote the three novelettes that became this novel, development in AI was not entering the knee of the exponential as it appears to be now. The AI in the story naturally developed into a much bigger role than I planned. Looking back almost a year later, what I thought was years away, may be directly ahead. The frontier AI companies think super-AI is close, I don't know, but the difference between fiction and fact continues to compress.

The paperback will be available at online stores April 20, the eBook May 20. If you would like to read it before then it is available now on my online store:

for 99 cents.

Note at the top of the store screen there is a code to get half off.

The blurb:

We will colonize Mars, just not in the way we think.

The decision will be made for us and out of desperation we will meet the challenge.

But Earth politics and grievances will also follow, as will danger.

MarsX is a novel in the Remembered Earth Universe, a collection of short stories, novellas and novels extrapolating humanity's near future.
