Quantum fiction is born: an experiential sci-fi book brings shocking, dystopian vision to life

RATHFARNHAM, Ireland - Sept. 2, 2019 - PRLog -- The first science fiction title by bestselling writer Gary J Byrnes, Future Shocks is designed to startle the reader with quantum-sized, thrilling stories of a future where human cloning, algorithms and artificial intelligence (AI) take the human species into a disturbing dystopia. Future Shocks is available for Kindle, priced at £2.99, (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07X89T9LF) direct from Amazon.

Live extension of the story, updated daily

The reader's shock is compounded by a live extension of the book, an algorithm-curated daily digital magazine – Existential Daily – that brings the elements of Future Shocks into disturbing focus: this is reality, often stranger than the fiction itself. Existential Daily is updated every day, so readers will always have a disturbingly-immediate experience.

#ResistAI – A Manifesto for the human resistance

Reading Future Shocks is helpful, but not imperative, in understanding how algorithms, AI and all-pervading technology is shaping our world in unexpected ways. So that we don't wake up until it's too late, a Manifesto for the human resistance has been drafted. Key to the manifesto is the Hippocratic Oath for Tech Workers, which is designed to make individuals and corporations think hard while building the digital future.
