  What if you could live multiple lives simultaneously, have constant, perfect companionship, and never die? In the tradition of classic speculative fiction from David Mitchell and Philip K Dick, Join is a literary sci-fi thriller that brings to life the "future of the mind" in which humans can merge consciousnesses to form permanent "Joins", expanding life and consciousness - but at what cost?  
  In an alternate near future, Join allows for the fusing of several minds into a single consciousness with multiple bodies. But best friends Lucky and Leap encounter a terrifying malfunction in the Join technology and discover that the light of this miracle technology may be blinding them to its horrors. As they move into the heart of the new North America, devastated by environmental ruin, they meet the architects of a new kind of human consciousness, and their trust in each other becomes their only guide through the moral hazards of a society in which individual identity has come undone, and a sadistic killer with dozens of identities follows them in relentless pursuit.  
  Literary sci-fi that poses major philosophical questions while possessing the same propulsive quality of Mort(e) and the work of Philip K. Dick. An unconventional narrative flow shifts between the various consciousnesses of each character, settling into a nice rhythm while keeping listeners on their toes.

  Set in 2114, this futuristic tale envisions an advanced world free from several present-day problems such as war, famine, climate change, resource shortages, violent crimes, and traffic congestion. The Quantum Plasma Fuel Mechanism (or the Engine) and the first-time machine were created in 2024, and they kept evolving into the technological marvel we know today. 
  As with any invention, there is always a possibility that people will exploit it for their own gain and with nefarious intentions. In this case, T.E.A.M, the Time Enforcement Advanced Missions Agency, under the leadership of Kelley Freeman and supervised by Captain Ben Thompson and Exley James, has entered the scene to tackle the issue. A new underground group called The Union of Ophidian has emerged as a threat, and after identifying the mole that has penetrated deep into their organization, Ben and the rest of T.E.A.M. find themselves in the middle of a Time Realignment that occurs right before their eyes. 
  After capturing Hanson, Ben realizes that he is too late for revenge. As Hanson gloats, a new reality unfolds, transforming Captain Ben Thompson into Public Enemy Number 1. The Union of Ophidian and Hanson have seized control over Quantum Plasma Technology and the Engine, creating a corrupt society despite its technological advancements. Ben is racing against time to restore the past and safeguard the future. Hanson and the Union of Ophidian threaten to control the future, making it imperative for Ben to act quickly.
