Members Reviews:
âDrug addiction. Suffering from it is one reason I want to make a better life for all the people in the northern lands.â
New Mexico author Larry Kilham received a B.S. in engineering from the University of Colorado, an M.S. in management from MIT, worked large international companies and founded three high-tech companies and gained three patents to his credit involving innovative use of computers and researching artificial intelligence. He has published eight books about creativity and invention, artificial intelligence and digital media, travel overseas, and three novels with an AI theme. He is also a corporate consultant, a member of the American Chemical Society, and is keenly interested in automation, ecology, global resources and the science of complexity.
Larryâs impressive credentials make him not only an important voice in ruminating about the pluses and minuses of the digital era in which we find ourselves, but he accompanies his observations with sensitivity, making him a pleasure to read as well as a guru on the state of digital advances in modern day life. In this novel he tackles social problems that are becoming too wide spread. He sets the tone of this novel in the opening lines â âWe gathered together on a cold fall day. I scattered Donnaâs ashes under her favorite shade tree on our farm. My sister had spent hours there in the company of her little dog reading, dozing, and listening to music. On this day, a dozen family and friends stood around sharing memories. Everyone agreed that her future was unlimited, but her life had ended so tragically. All I could think of was the great times we had together. We played all kinds of games. We caught frogs in the pond. Donna played left field for our neighborhood softball team. And she bucked me up whenever I felt down. But Donna, like so many of our friends, had slid into drug addiction. It had started with Opa, the free drug issued by the government to make everyone feel better and, I think, to make everyone think less and accept more. Then she began to explore illegal drugs, eventually succumbing to an overdose of some homemade killer concoction. Her final words were, âDear brother, youâre so creative! Donât stop until you kill this monster.â Ever since, I have read everything I could find in an effort to find a solution to the problem that took my sister from me. Short of vaporizing all drug supplies worldwide in an instant, I considered the possibility that free will could provide the answer. Studies showed that energizing free will could unlock the mind from the pleasure traps of excess eating, drug addiction, and other health problems. With this promising insight, I would not stop until I found a way to restore peopleâs faith in free will. Maybe I had found the key to unleash what seemed to be forever in the arms of fate.â
He then begins the drama that floods the pages of this book: âI was fixated on developing my invention I called âElectra,â a Greek word meaning shining or incandescent.
