Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Calvin Jones, a computer programmer in his mid-twenties, decides to skip work and meet his girlfriend at the beach instead. However, because of an accident, a trip to the hospital, death, and cryogenic freezing, he never quite makes it there. When Calvin is revived, he finds himself in a utopian society three hundred years in the future.

But every society has its peculiarities.

This one happens to be governed by an artificial intelligence named Ariel. Using Ariel, this society has been able to identify its stupid, lazy, or otherwise detrimental individuals —and kill them. The result is a civilization of intelligent, hardworking inhabitants—except for Calvin.

Will Calvin be able to adapt to his new surroundings, or will the learning curve be too steep for him to survive?

About the Author
Brian Cramer was born in New Jersey. Because of several failed attempts to escape the mysterious pull of the Garden State, he still lives there. He works for an electronic and fiber optic assembly manufacturer and enjoys computers, electronics, the universe, and a hot cup of tea.

By A Customer
If you like sci-fi, utopian societies or if you are a tech freak you'll love this book! The book loaded with tongue-in-cheek humor (the world needs more of this) Can hardly wait for the sequel. Go Brian!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, Interesting Read, January 22, 2004
By Jeffrey D. Spahn "Bicycle Racer" (Dubuque, IA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book has page after page of fun, witty science-fiction wrapped up with a believeable future. It is almost like reading Futurama. I found myself laughing out loud several times which caused a problem because I had to explain the situation to my wife. The ending does leave you wondering, "what next". I surely hope Brian comes up with a sequal that is at least as funny comes out with it soon. I want to know what happens. I want a Sony PatientMan! Long live Tang!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun & Entertaining From Begining To End, January 16, 2004
By A Customer
This book is a quick easy read. My attention was captured from the opening pages to the very end. There was some sarcastic humor on every page that brought out a laugh, giggle, or smirk. Very enjoyable. I am looking forward to the sequel.
