The Maker's Dream

By Arvind Nagarajan

Technology has unlocked a door to utopia: a global community, interconnected by a perfectly-adapting intelligence, designed to satisfy every whim for everyone.

Author Arvind Nagarajan's debut novel, The Maker's Dream, explores an Earth whose lifeblood is the iLink: a thought-technology interface that allows its users to command swarms of nano-drones, explore virtual worlds indistinguishable from reality, or enter a dream state designed for self-improvement. Keitaro, a set of sprawling settlements connected by their inhabitants' iLinks, brings more cities every year into its embrace.

KB is a headstrong girl enjoying the utopian lifestyle afforded by her iLink. When her mother turns up dead in a freak drone accident, she and her contrarian uncle Chakra start digging deeper, to the roots of Keitaro and the godlike Maker that created it. Was her mother's death truly a one-in-a-trillion mistake, or was it a deliberate attack? And is the Maker the benevolent molder of a thriving society, or a far more sinister force?
