Book Launch: “Perpetuonics” by Jeffery Melvin Hutchins
November 10, 2024 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Free
This event is a launch party for the novel “Perpetuonics”, a futuristic cautionary tale. Jeff, the author, will provide refreshments and have books to sign and sell. The event will include a reading by the author, a staged reading of a dramatized section of the book, and a Q&A with the author.
About the Book:
In the near future, young tech entrepreneur Declan Marchand invents Perpetuonics, a method of digitizing a living person’s character, knowledge, emotions, and memories — and then bringing that person back into “existence” after death. These Digital beINGS — Dings in shorthand — can theoretically “live” forever. They reside in massive servers, where they communicate with living people with the help of a living Compadore. They are also, of course, subject to rules and restrictions . . . until they begin to discover their own power.
November 10th • 2-4pm
Free and Open to the Public
