The Faraday Light

Lehane is a Series 1 Artificial looking for his next challenge within XoCo Corporation, and maybe more so, relief from the boredom that accompanies a commissioning as long as his. An opportunity to beta test an innovative technology that could altruistically alter the lives of the Decommissioned would be just the challenge he was seeking. What he didn't expect is that by accepting the job, his fundamental coding would be corrupted, and his mission derailed by a Human named Feride. In an effort to salvage the experiment, XoCo will stop at nothing to retrieve their rogue hardware, and Lehane finds himself thrust into a rebellion against the Corporation accompanied by Feride, an Unplugged named Vernon, and three rogue Artificials. On the run from the vigilante Clans and chased by altered Series 12 assassins at every turn, Lehane and Feride find an unforeseen ally in a mysterious light that appears in the strangest times and places, enlightening their path to truth.

A post-modern dystopian hero's journey, The Faraday Light illuminates the truth of paradox, the limitations of binaries and expands the definition of life itself.

MARC BYERS is the guy you swear you've met before. His nearly thirty-year career as a tech consultant remains the perfect decoy for his creative pursuits, which include numerous ambient and post-rock music projects inspired by his lifelong fascination of space exploration, mathematics, and future technologies.

The latest addition to his creative repertoire and his debut novel, The Faraday Light, puts a mirror to his own ten-year journey to discover himself and pays homage to his love of dystopian sci-fi and all things cyberpunk.

He currently resides in Texas, where oddly, you'll often find him on a tractor.
