Overview
Book 2 – Ferryman:
Digital Twins are big business. It is 2450AD and the Sol Senate desperately needs something that is in critically short supply to sustain itself and its technologies: actual human beings. Digital Twins are supposed to be exact copies of human minds, but are they really?
Xe! is a Ferryman collecting and dispatching digital packages in the Light-scape from the outpost at Sedna. This is its story.
Caught up in affairs way above its specification, Xe! must dredge deep into its digital banks to recall what it was like to be human. In order to unravel what appears to be a sinister alliance between the Sol Senate human elite and an Alien Species, Xe! must go where no Digital Twin has ever gone before.
Xe! has a unique class of mind and is undaunted by challenges, because Xe! is a Ferryman!
What if…? Human intelligence was persistent? How different is any person from whom they used to be as a child? Does consciousness adapt itself, or does it transform itself as experience accrues to a mind?
Xe! the Ferryman -Is a Digital Twin of Ken, but a series of circumstance force him to adapt, to change, to survive… Is Tick-tock the Ferryman simply an iteration of Xe!, or is it still a Digital Twin of Ken? Are any of these things even important to a Digital Twin…?
