Metamorphosis

It’s 1999, a 59 year-old architect lies in a coma, the victim of a murderous psychopath. There is no hope for his recovery. The man’s family authorizes a highly experimental procedure to upload his mind into a computer. Nearly four decades later, the architect awakens with no memory of his own murder, or the events that led up to it. He assumes he has awakened in a motel room during a cross-country business trip in the morning of an ordinary day in the final year of the 20th century. But he is wrong. Instead, he is lying on a laboratory table in the year 2038. He will soon discover that things have changed -- and not for the better. The unforeseen consequences of the 1999 experiment are about to have a profound effect on humanity’s uncertain future. Cover image by Cory Ench.
