7 Cures

'Jesus James Asuncion is a recreational thief.' In a world where anything can be duplicated instantly, theft is just a hobby - but power still corrupts, institutions still control, and a father still needs to protect his children.

Ben Evoli creates entertainment that people can't stop using, while trying to keep his distance from both the health guilds who want to 'cure' humanity's desires and the other Infinites who keep pushing him to embrace his status. When the sardonic Maddox Price starts poking at the nurses' control over society's networks, Ben's carefully constructed world begins to unravel. His wife's ambitions have taken her far from home, his daughter's navigating a world without privacy, and his son's having disturbing visions that suggest darker patterns beneath their post-scarcity paradise.

For readers who appreciate Neal Stephenson's technical authenticity, Ursula K. Le Guin's cultural complexity, and Cory Doctorow's post-scarcity futures - a richly layered vision of Earth's tomorrow where technology meets tradition, and nothing is as simple as it first appears.
