OK, it’s pretty blatant, isn’t it?  I give you the first two chapters of Threshold of the Mind.  You read it, get hooked, then pull your hair until you get the rest of the book.  But don’t panic, it’s available in many versions, print, Kindle, and ebook.  So read the first two chapters at your own risk without cost or obligation, knowing you will be driven to buy the book later.  You’ve been warned.

What Does Stratumentis Mean?

The word Stratumentis is a combination of two Latin words, “stratum” meaning layer and “mentis,” meaning of the mind.  Stratumentis literally means, “layered minds.”

Stratumentis is the name of the fictional city in my new book, In the Image of God.  In the novel, it is a fantastic spherical structure designed and built by the wealthy and ruthless business genius, Tatsuo Hamachi.  Stratumentis is suspended in the open space of the widest part of the Grand Canyon, half above the rim and half below, nearly a mile above the Colorado River and over one mile from either rim.  The gigantic sphere is approximately one half mile in diameter and over two hundred stories high.

Stratumentis houses thousands of workers and laboratories.  The outer skin is composed of Crystaleen, a fully transparent glass that has excellent photovoltaic properties as well as a high insulative value.   This material is incredibly expensive as it can only be manufactured in high earth orbit.  The entire sphere weighing billions of tons is suspended by eight nanofiber cables attached to four enormous towers, two at each rim.  From a slight distance, the city appears to float.  Its shiny surface reflects the sun, giving the illusion it is a second, smaller sun rising in the gorge.

In the Image of God is available in print and electronic versions from online retailers.  Here is the link to the Amazon listing.

In the Image of God is now available on Amazon in print and kindle versions.  This was a long ride.  I began writing the book about 14 years ago.  It has gone through many edits and changes.  Here it is, released to the world.  Fly little birdie, fly.

In the Image of God by Jay Magidson, now available on Amazon

In the Image of God

I want to give a special thank you to my family for their support through the process – I love you.

Here is the description from the back of the book:

The year is 2080 and the world is crowded. To feed the nearly 17 billion, the earth has been divided into agriculture or city. There is no in between, no margin for error in this high-tech world. Farms are ultra-efficient enterprises using the latest engineered crops, enormous plants manipulated to grow in any season and produce fantastic yields. Cities are dense and overcrowded, stuffed with men and women working endless hours to pay for their needs. Their only relief is Virtual Reality – a synthetic world where any fantasy is possible – where a person can look like anyone, be anywhere. It is no wonder people spend every waking hour “jacked in” to this imaginary world.

Access to Virtual Reality is controlled by one company, owned by one man. Tatsuo Hamachi has accumulated vast wealth, but his desire for power is greater. Now, he has discovered a way to connect human minds directly, without the need of Virtual Reality headsets, where thoughts can flow as easily as electricity through a wire. When every human mind is connected – he stands to be leader of them all.

There are a few who have rejected technology for a simpler life. Their only desire is to be left in peace. When Alvar, their leader, becomes an unwilling guinea pig for Hamachi’s experiments, he must fight not only for his own mind, but those of the entire world.

Now go get one and read it!
