A Greater Good

This dystopian tale depicts a society designed to meet each individual’s needs, doing so at the expense of personal privacy. As disturbing as this society is, it is close at hand: a natural outcome of modern trends.

            Two young adults, Byron and Sallye, take the reader on an quest that ranges from the heart of an agency which sets out to know all and control all, to a horse-back ride into a high alpine meadow. Along the way their lives are touched by many, including a Psychotherapy Avatar powered by Artificial Intelligence and a rescue dog named Sanctuary. They discover Bryon’s long lost brother, Alton, and an impossible love triangle emerges.

            The adventure of Byron and Sallye is beset by both heartbreak and resonant emotional connection. It explores fundamental human issues – life’s fragility, the need for personal freedom and meaningful connection, and one’s own responsibility to self, others and society.
