I Took a year off from electronics to write a Sci-Fi book.
« on: November 05, 2023, 06:11:20 am »
Cruising towards retirement and the volume of electronics work was starting to dry up so I recently decided to cross one of the things off my bucket list and wrote a science fiction novel. An epic tale of a young woman's journey through the singularity, with 2048-bit carbon nanotube 3D processors and flying saucers thrown in for good measure!

It was both easier and harder than I expected, and I learnt a lot from the experience mainly that it needs to be a labour of love and don't give up your day job!

I wrote it up here -> https://rodyne.com/?page_id=1252

Anyway, back to 8-bit microprocessors and C  :(

PS I wasn't sure whether to post this in the dodgy technologies category as most of the tech in the book nails all of the tropes!  :-DD

Thanks for the tip, Dianetics would not be a hard act to follow from a literary standpoint, I could just feed a couple of chapters into ChatGPT and ask it to re-write them in the style of L Ron Hubbard.
