The Last Human?


T.F.R. LeBoomington - 2019
    He's the Last Human. He's rich, he's famous, and he hates his life. The year 2056, WW3 has come and gone, and machines have transformed the Earth and its people. Some might say for the better. Not Rick. Rick is the last human, kept and paraded around as a reminder of the inferiority of the ape-like humans. Rick wants out. But he’s not getting away so easily, the Agency is not letting its puppet go. Follow Rick as he tries to sober up long enough to escape from his lavish lifestyle only to end up entangled in interplanetary intrigue. In a world of super-cyborgs and mutants, Rick will show them the meaning of humanity as he travels far and wide testing the fabric of society in an attempt to find himself or whatever it is he’s looking for. Warning, adult content. Do not read if easily offended. This book contains coarse language, sex, drugs and violence. All the good stuff. Head over to my blog and read some more of my nonsense there. The first post is about writing and the second editing, maybe you’ll find them interesting, educational or even funny, maybe not. If you want to find out about why I write and my process head over to https://www.thelasthuman.co/blog Bio T.F.R. LeBoomington resides between London and France. When he’s not working on some mad project he's out researching his books and studying humans in their natural drinking environments. Throughout the years he's worked in marketing, video production, gaming, smart homes and more. His passion for technology and knowledge of the tech industry is geeky. He's been writing since he was kid, but never attempted to publish anything until 10 years ago when he tried and failed miserably. (See Why I Write Blog Post) A couple of years ago he decided to start writing again, on the side. The result is The Last Human Saga. It's a product of his love of 80s and 90s pop culture mixed with his love of futurism and science-fiction, filtered through his life experience. That being said he is insane and so is his writing. Thankfully his editor is a physicist and savage critic.

The Second Realm: Book on Strategy


Smuggler XYZ - 2019
    The idea is that if “we” focus “our” efforts on educating individuals on economics, morality, history, etc., “we” can hit critical mass, abolish the State, and live happily ever after. While this “free world” is a pipedream, it doesn’t mean that self-liberators can’t set up pockets of freedom in the here and now, despite the existence of the State: these respites from First Realm tyranny are called Second Realms. In Second Realm: Book on Strategy, Smuggler and XYZ build upon the framework laid by the likes of Samuel Edward Konkin III, Hakim Bey, and many anonymous cypherpunks: agoras, temporary/permanent autonomous zones, and digital freedom/privacy, respectively. But, the truly unique thing these authors were able to formulate was the merging of the physical and digital realms. Herein, the authors begin by discussing the underlying philosophy and the motivation for this particular freedom strategy; terms are defined and elaborated upon; they tell you how to practically create Second Realms EVERYWHERE; you’ll learn about high and low tech tools that can be used to maintain these realms going into the future; how to facilitate trade between the two realms, and more. Get Second Realm: Book on Strategy today and let's start building.

The Easytown Novels: Books 1-3


Brian Parker - 2019
    Classic noir stories of the past focus on the city with a thousand stories, investigated by the hard-nosed detective beset upon by the femme fatale, unfortunate victims, and who-done-it mysteries. Meanwhile, the hallmarks of the cyberpunk genre are the futuristic elements of climate change, social depravity, moral ambiguity, and corporate greed. The Easytown Novels combines the two genres in a way that will make this series a staple in the sci-fi noir genre. The Immorality Clause, book 1 Easytown’s robotic pleasure clubs are a serial killer’s playground. The futuristic slum in eastern New Orleans is a violent place where any vice can be satisfied--for a price. As long as the taxes are paid and tourists continue to flock to the city, businesses are allowed to operate as they see fit. Easytown has given rise to the robotic sex trade; where the robots are nearly human and always better than the real thing. Homicide detective, Zach Forrest, has never trusted the machines. When a string of grisly murders rocks the city, he must hunt down the killer responsible. With no witnesses, and no evidence, Forrest embarks on an investigation that will challenge the very scope of reality. Will Forrest find the killer before he becomes the next victim? Tears of a Clone, book 2 Torture tourism is an illegal sport in Easytown—unless the victim is a clone, then nobody cares. When Detective Zach Forrest discovers the mutilated bodies of three clones in a garbage compactor, he’s dismayed that no one wants anything to do with the investigation. He takes matters into his own hands and visits Tommy Voodoo, aka The King of Easytown, to get information. Forrest is shocked to learn of the multi-million dollar industry of torture tourism going on right under everyone's nose. He embarks on an unauthorized investigation and discovers that the truth behind the clone murders is more terrifying than he’d imagined. West End Droids & East End Dames, book 3 Easytown’s back alleys are even more dangerous as criminals have thrown away the last of their humanity—now nothing can stop them. Just when his life seemed to be getting back on track, Detective Zach Forrest finds himself in the midst of a whirlwind of treachery, lies, and mayhem that threatens to unravel the delicate balance of power in Easytown. Everything comes crashing down on Forrest when a rampaging cyborg attacks him, disrupting his investigation into the death of a lowly thumper club doorman who knew too much. Before he can determine his next move, a beautiful, mysterious evidence clerk lands on his doorstep, forcing her way into his life despite the NOPD’s rules against fraternization. Meanwhile, to combat the rapidly increasing number of cybernetically enhanced criminals, the police chief assigns him the difficult task of tracking down and stopping the street doctors who build the abominations at any cost. But, will it cost Zach more than he’d expected?
