What’s My Story About?
From discuessing my novel when I should have been writing at the write-ins I discovered that my story is a Coming of Age story – first of the main character a.k.a. The Punk, secondly of the civalisation and the ‘human’ races and then of Life in the universe.
This was a shock to me as I thought I was write-in a slight tongue in cheek cyber punk novel with a tank-girl come Barbie come Aeon Flux character with lots of cool gadets and fight sense – oh and of course ‘car’ cases.
It is also a political piece but my own views on things where hidden in the back ground of my mind until quiet recently so they were abit of a sock too, it involves stuff about religous wars of all kinds, intolarance and apathy and the relative dangers. It touches on what humans need, and on atrocities performed in the act of obtaining power. It covers the want and denial of children to someone who very much wants them and coasts along the tech development that leads to the fullfilment of dreams.
The danger of tech is not the tech – technology is a tool and so it touches on savour and destroyer being the same thing – in supression leading to pent up aggression and corruption and so on and so forth.
Being a trained geologist and having worked in both an anthropology lab and meteoritics (looking at meteorites) I have obviously incorporated alot of these areas into the story. I love systems and the Earth is a system the whole global warming issue is one of interprating a complex system so this by nessecity enters into the story as well.
The series itself chronicals the evolution of a system and it is going to take me alot of time to do this!
I hope it is a good piece of work and that it is not winge on humanity – it wasn’t supposed to be – rather its supposed to show us in our raw state good and bad.
I think the Punk series is about alot of things not least a human-elf (aquatic ape) high bred who has been genetically engerneered with life extention tech caught up in an age old war between two Elf/Aquatic Ape factions which could render the whole solar system dead!
I shall stop now before I embarress myself.
