Hallucinatory cyberpunk. Meta Sci-Fi Satire. The future is futile.

2083. Rinchi becomes a MercSecure representative and is given her first big assignment -- the assassination of a Mexican drug kingpin. On the run from the Federal Corporate Government, Meme and Yeshi make their way to Tokyo, Japan. In an attempt to protect Meme, Yeshi meets with a weapons dealer named Hajime, who offers her more than she bargained for.

The hunt is on.

Part techno-thriller, part literary science fiction, Life is a Beautiful Thing is a series that questions what it means to be human, a book that offers a shocking glimpse into a dystopian future fueled by corporate deceit and high-end intoxicants.

Book Three will be released on July 15th and is available for pre-order now.

From the Author

The writing journey that has accumulated in the Life is a Beautiful Thing series began with Nanowrimo in 2011. While on its surface the series may seem shocking - both through its imagery and through its usage of multiple languages, vulgarities, violence, sexual orientations and seemingly random hallucinatory passages - weeks upon weeks were put into the conceptualization of this series. While some words may seem invented, they're not. While some concepts may seem over the top, many are heavily grounded in reality. What the book really is, if I can say as much, is a graphic, sexually-charged, gory way to begin a discussion on machine-learning. Yes, we are a way's off from singularity, but that doesn't mean the topic won't become increasingly relevant as we press forward into the future.

In Life is a Beautiful Thing I hope to capture everything from the hallucinatory prose of Hunter S. Thompson, to the techno-irony of Phillip K. Dick and Vonnegut, to the sheer literary abandon of Henry Miller and William S. Burroughs and the genre-neutral works of David Mitchell and Karen Russell. If I succeed even halfway in this endeavor I consider it a triumph. Thank you for taking the time to read this and get ready for the ride of your life.
