Autonomy by Jean-Michel Smith
When Cal Sheldon puts himself into an artificial coma and loads his mind onto the advanced computer he and his university colleagues secretly designed, he leaves behind a dying Earth and discovers new life in the world they've created. This breakthrough gives rise to an underground community and launches an illegal scientific renaissance. But can they stay ahead of those who would destroy them? And do they have the courage to embrace a radical plan for survival, one that might give them the freedom they seek, but could cost them their very humanity?
Jean-Michel Smith was born in Palo Alto, California, but lived many years in Chicago, which he considers his home town. After pursuing degrees in physics and engineering, he ultimately chose computer science and graduated with a BS from the University of Illinois, College of Engineering. After completing the course work for his masters degree at Illinois State University, he embarked on a career as a systems engineer and enterprise architect. His work has taken him to many countries across the Americas, Europe, and Asia. Published in France, his essays on free culture and collaborative endeavor appear in LOGS: micro-fondements d'emancipation sociale et artistique. His science fiction novel Autonomy will be available in the spring of 2012. He is married to author Christine Todd and lives in New York. Visit his websites at jean-michel.eu and autonomyseries.com.
