About This Book

In a future where technology allows human consciousness to be scanned into digital 'Copies,' Paul Durham attempts to create a permanent virtual sanctuary. The novel explores the philosophical implications of identity and simulated reality through the development of the Autoverse, an artificial universe governed by simplified laws of nature.
