Come 2025, the Age of Abundance is well underway, earlier than anyone ever imagined possible. All basic human need has been eliminated. The poorest people on earth live like kings of old. 3D printers spit out replacement body parts, nootropics… Most anything we’d care to surround ourselves with has made its way into our homes. But this is also known as the era of convergence. Numerous technologies come together to form synergies no one can predict or control. And that’s what scares people. Of chief detectives, Monica and Ethan, Monica is a Convergence Tech Wizard wannabe, but so far she hasn’t been able to pull off the necessary power of mind. Instead, she hunts them for a living. Her sidekick, Ethan, is of the minority of mortals still running around without any human upgrades at all. If he’s afraid of what Monica can do, he’s really terrified of what CTWs can do. As time wears on, Monica and Ethan come to question their mission and their motivations for being on it. Who is the real danger, the ominous, mysterious forces pulling their strings, or the CTWs? Is it time to consider changing sides? As things heat up between the CTWs and corporate interests, who will win the war? And what will the outcome of that war look like for humanity? NOTE: CONCEIVED IN THE SPIRIT OF IAIN M. BANKS’ CULTURE SERIES, THE NOVELS IN THE AGE OF ABUNDANCE SERIES, LIKEWISE, ARE STAND-ALONE BOOKS THAT CAN BE READ IN ANY ORDER. THEY FEATURE DIFFERENT CASTS OF CHARACTERS. THE AGE OF ABUNDANCE IN WHICH THE STORIES ARE SET SPANS FROM THE NEAR FUTURE TO THE FAR FUTURE. IN THE EVENT ANY OF THE AGE OF ABUNDANCE NOVELS ARE SERIALIZED, THEN THE SAME CAST WOULD PREVAIL. I.E. THE GOD GENE 2.
