Opis

SPECIAL EDITION IN OPEN-DYSLEXIC TYPEFACE (A special font to assist those who have developmental reading disorders.) "Poverty, terrorism, murder, disease, homelessness, hopelessness, hunger and death; all cease to exist in 2049." Aeternum Ray is a sweeping, yet intimate story of mankind's next renaissance that will appeal to fans of visionaries Isaac Asimov, Gene Roddenberry and Ray Kurzweil. The novel is a collection of emotional personal letters written by 240-year-old William Babington to his newborn son Benjamin. Having lived a full life, William has experienced everything from death to his rebirth into the utopian Aeternum; an advanced computer system shepherded by the omnipotent artificial intelligence Ray. William pens the highlights of his existence, love, and loss while reflecting on the centuries of wonder he has witnessed firsthand. His humble letters form a detailed memoir that is intertwined with humanity's greatest triumphs, the technological singularity, and the solemn burden of surviving Earth's darkest night of terror. Through the light and dark times of the near future, Aeternum Ray departs from dystopian themes and brings back the uplifting notion of utopian speculative ideals. About the Dyslexia Edition: This book has been formatted to include a special typeface that may assist readers who have a developmental reading disorder (DRD or Dyslexia). The open source font, OpenDyslexic by Abelardo Gonzalez, utilizes weighting at the bottom of many characters in an effort to prevent letter inversion while reinforcing the line of text. This typeface modification technique has been shown to increase reading accuracy for some forms of DRD, but not all.
