Kaldor City: Hidden Persuaders co-author and longtime Magic Bullet production manager, Fiona Moore's novel, "Driving Ambition", has been acquired by Bundoran Press. From their announcement:
"In the not-too-distant future, intelligent Things are recognized as
sentient beings--but do they have the same rights as humans? And what
about the free-floating Intelligents deep within the Internet. Thompson
Jennings is a man with unique problems and unique abilities--he can
interface between the human and machine worlds, acting as a go-between
in labour negotiations and other disputes. But when one his clients, a
sentient taxicab, is murdered, his problems multiply and his abilities
are stretched to the limit."
So: Robots, murders, political intrigue and artificial sentience... what more could Kaldor City fans ask for? The book will be published in autumn 2018, details will be forthcoming.
