Mariela Stafford’s life just hit rock bottom. Her boss, the CEO of Panacea Corp, created a digital clone of himself, demoted Mariela, gave the clone her job, and told Mariela to train it. Now the clone wants her to help it kill the CEO.
In 2115, embedded chips, virtual reality, and the threat of extreme weather have led to a market for businesses that keep a person’s body alive in a habitation pod while the person lives entirely in the metaverse. But not everyone embraces technological advances- a group of people have adopted the tech of 2005 while isolating themselves from the temptation of advanced technology. Panacea Corp - the world’s most powerful corporation - connects both worlds through providing the metaverse, the pod warehouses, and the land to the technology resisters.
Mariela Stafford, a vice president for Panacea Corp, is demoted after her new boss assigns his digital clone to take over her job. Assisted by Amoco, an eccentric polymath who also works for the corporation, she schemes a way to get rid of the clone. To delete it, they’ll need to recruit a team to access an eighty-year-old server farm in a remote location-which would be a lot easier to do if the records on the location of the server farm hadn’t been lost.
This ‘earth’ opera-a tale with all the drama, expansiveness, and varied cast of a space opera, but set on earth-will appeal to anyone who’s ever felt out-of-control of the technology in their lives.
Panacea Genesis is book one in the Panacea Trilogy.
