Summary:

Welcome to the Hive. We are all connected

Utopia. A flawless, violence-free, ecologically sustainable world. A world in which meaningfulness is found in celebrity and sensationalism.

Tommy Pierre Antigamac is the most followed player in the world’s most popular sport: American football. When he is inexplicably cut off from the Hive and captured by a group of anti-Hive terrorists, the unfamiliar emptiness and silence of his unattached mind almost drives him insane. In time, however, he becomes tantalized by the ‘primitive’ concepts of privacy, individual thought, and unenhanced mental imagery. Concurrently, he comes to see the ‘richness’ of Hive society as but a hollow illusion, its world void of purpose, its incessant pursuit of celebrity and sensory input crass and shallow.

Tommy must make a decision of which life he wants, and when he chooses to join his captors in their struggle, he discovers that the reach of the Hive is considerably more invasive than he could have dreamed.

A social commentary. A wake-up call. A serious look at the insidious intrusion of technology and social media into our lives and into the very fabric of society.

I had to publish this book now, because I was afraid that in 15 years people would read it . . . and say “What’s the big deal?”
