What if your entire life was just a program you were taught to run, and now you have to rewrite it from scratch?
When David Taylor dies in a car crash, he wakes up in 2050, inside the body of a humanoid robot, in Chicago. He denies this new reality at first. And when he asks for help, he’s told time travel is real and to think of happy memories.
The truth is, David’s life was a mess before the accident. His memories are fragmented. As David tries to come to terms with having lost his life in the car accident, he remembers a hidden design running through the city streets, something he created. Chicago’s skyline once gave him comfort, now its towering architecture pulses with echoes of his past. To return to his life, he’ll have to dismantle everything he thought he was: the obedient son, the brilliant architect, the man who performed perfectly for everyone but himself.
Machine City 2050 is a literary science-fiction novel that explores themes of relationships and identity, technology, family, resilience, what our place in the universe, what makes us human.
There’s a lifelong cost pretending to be someone you’re not. To move forward, David must stop running old code and simply learn to be.
