Editorial Reviews Review “Manney, even when dealing with numerous fractured/remade personalities…keeps all the plates spinning and makes all her characters distinct individuals. She also manages repeated, virtuosic narrative flourishes along the way; for instance, if you thought Stanley Kubrick’s killing of HAL-9000 in 2001: A Space Odyssey was the ultimate in machine-life death, think again…A complex but rewarding conclusion to a high-density cyber-SF tale.” —Kirkus Reviews About the Author PJ Manney is the author of the Phoenix Horizon trilogy: (CON)science, (ID)entity, and the Philip K. Dick Award nominee (R)evolution. A devotedly positive futurist, she was chairperson of the board of directors of Humanity+, an international nonprofit organization that advocates the ethical use of technology to expand human capabilities. Manney has also been active in communications, public relations, and film production. To date, she has written numerous scripts for television pilots and has also worked on shows such as Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess. She has lived as far afield as New York and New Zealand and loves delving into the cultural landscape of wherever she finds herself. When she’s not writing, she continues to expound on her perspective of a technology-driven posthumanity while encouraging hopeful visions of the future. She lives with her husband of thirty-one years and their two children. For more information, visit www.pjmanney.com.
