    Action Adventure and Techno-Utopian Manifesto.  
    Book 3: Conflict is compelling and provocative — a romp through the alien landscape of our not-so-distant future. The balance is shifting. The Forward coalition is losing relevance, and the world is slipping through its fingers. But Nebulous and The Kin are still too weak to confront the old bulls, who, cornered and confused, are at their most deadly. Will the fantastic technologies emerging from the Klan Fabs bring utopia as the optimists claim, or only speed the planet towards its inevitable appointment with annihilation? 
    Cold wars are growing hot as governments lash out at what they don’t understand. Mankind’s million-year stint will finally take it to the brink of an abyss where oceans of darkness await above and below…The fast-paced action ricochets the reader between neon stained riots of urban flesh and idyllic tropical islands where humans and their BugNet companions have built a pan-species utopia.  
    Conflict crackles with the energy of an approaching storm as plutocrats and blue-eyed idealists face off across a planet bristling with micro-nukes, devilish bio-machines, and weaponized hallucinations.

    An unusual and remarkable dystopian novel A Free Man is a satirical tall tale presented as the drug and alcohol fuelled conversation of two old friends getting reacquainted over one night. It's also a boy-meets-girl story of the worst kind and a time travel story about a future where the world is ruled by robots and humans are vermin. When timelines cross, the world as we know it bends . . . Skid Roe is completely self-absorbed and delusional. His struggle to exercise free will is constantly hampered by the physical manifestation of his inner demons and by the norms and rules of contemporary life. He's both aided and hindered by Lem, a robot from the future whose good intentions leave Skid on the run from a shadowy state security agency. A surreal, beautiful, and powerful literary mash-up, BasiliEres' long-awaited sophomore effort is inventive and darkly funny.
