Description

James is a chronic underachiever who has never aspired for anything more than just surviving in this world. But when he gets an advanced artificial intelligence installed in a contact lens in his eye, he starts realizing that there's more to life than just survival.Val, as the AI likes to called, helps him connect with a beautiful one-armed violinist by building her a functioning robotic arm. For once in his life, James is doing more than just living, he's alive. Just as Val starts to bring order and joy to James' life, she begins a terrifying countdown of 4 days, 8 hours, 54 minutes, and 33 seconds (4D8H54M33S.) What follows is an insane journey through the mind of a malfunctioning AI where all of his dreams instantly become his reality, and he's not alone in the asylum. What James finds in Val's psyche is that the fate of the world may very well rest in the hands of a chronic underachiever. The Countdown is a modern day, Earth based science fiction novel. At times it questions freewill, visits virtual realities and contains aspects of crude humor. One character in particular is REALLY crude.
