MindWar
Our Douglas E. Richards, who contributed to our "Visions of the Future",
has released the technothriller "MindWar" at http://amzn.to/2eBgriQ.
Many have called Richards a worthy successor to Michael Crichton. His
latest is the third in a series, but any of his technothrillers are fun
and thought provoking reads, with plenty of speculation on the impact of
new technologies. (We like "Split Second" at http://amzn.to/2eMDPKy.)
Also, you can check out our "Visions of the Future" at
