    About this ebook

    A Science fiction short story by Dixon James.

    You just can't make some people happy.

    Future society looks pretty good, according to Isobel. No money, anti aging technology, artificial intelligence, the post singularity world is one big party and Isobel is jumping right in.

    Not Robert, though. Robert is Isobel's grandson and he worries at the loss of the old ways. His fear of the future is only fuelled by his grandmother's youthful looks and party lifestyle. 

    Does Robert just need to loosen up, or is there really a dark side to all this positivity?

    This sexy satire by multi genre author Dixon James, explores the new world which is almost upon us and imagines what it might mean...
