(No AI used) BOOK 2. Chronicling the advance of Chersky Imaging Technology into the late 21st Century.

As a 12 year-old, Denton Toobey witnessed his best friend, Keith, fall off a 1,000 foot cliff in Bolivia. Keith Kataskev was a genetically engineered child whom Homeland Security Outreach (LASO) wanted "de-auranized"--or dead. The DNA experiment was not progressing as they wished.

A drifter in life, dodging responsibility as often as possible, Denton treks to the biggest international rave festival in the world--Tomorrowland--in the same country where he had lost his childhood friend 20 years ago. That is where he receives a quantum-encrypted message telling him that he must find and protect Keith. Not only does Denton not know what he would look like, but how would find him at of festival of tens of thousands? Furthermore, how could he protect him from the world police ?

Muse--Denton’s friend from college, who works for LASO, follows her conscience to help Denton find his childhood friend and figure out what it was about him that LASO wanted to eliminate. The irony is that although Keith may be alive, LASO wants him "de-auranized," yet preserved--body intact. The head of LASO has plans for his daughter, cursed with a new mutable form of leukemia spreading across the globe. His daughter, whom he worked so hard to "design" perfectly, is clearly imperfect and he is willing to play genetic Russian roulette with the world to find a cure.

A scientist who disappeared with Keith when they tried to escape LASO years ago, Dr. Rupert Sheldrake isn't even aware of the cornucopia of evolutionary possibilities that was encoded in the boy’s DNA. Having used a quantum computer capable of processing all data in the Universe to scour the vast ether of knowledge that connects all matter, transcending space and time--the Morphic Field--how could he?

At it's disposal, LASO has the most powerful technology unleashed in the late 21st Century--that of the soul-seeing technology discovered and recorded on the book Satellite.

What has the Soviet Satellite been doing to us?

A fired weatherman is asked to debug an old abandoned satellite left over from the collapse of the Soviet Union. Considered a dead-end project, Aber Trendel is thrown on the project with a team of rejects from the University of Ohio.

When they discover the satellite's metaphysical properties and a mysterious signal that showers down on humans below, they find themselves in a race against other world governments who try to hack into it for control.

This well-researched novel pieces together information that asks: Does this technology already exist?
