Timebeat — John Lewis

After his wife's funeral, cyber defence expert Dr. Simon Levison discovers that she has been unfaithful to him. His attempt to find the reasons for her bewildering action reveals a situation where the whole of the human race is under threat of extinction.

Simon lives in a world where the dangers posed by artificial intelligence and nano-technology are recognized as a real and imminent danger. Can he and the enigmatic Magda save mankind from the threats posed by the emotionless mind of Abaca, an intangible computer network inadvertently created by man himself?


TimeBeat is a realistic and entertaining prediction of the future hazards mankind may face from his uncritical and greedy acceptance of the benefits of modern technology.
