Description

What awaits in the afterlife beyond the code is not always God’s divine mercy.

Brilliant software engineer Dr. Susan Parker is about to create God in the Machine. Bankrolled by property mogul Brice Woodlands, she has only two years to devise the ingenious technology to digitize human souls and submit them to her virtual God for assessment inside the cybersphere.

Five troubled strangers—a high-class escort and prodigal daughter, a war refugee burdened by terrible guilt, a reckless eco-warrior, a financial guru who believes he might be God, and Brice’s brother, Bryan—all desperate to meet God, volunteer to upload their souls to the prototype. But the expected paradise descends into chaos when a malevolent construct exposes their darkest failings and casts them into twisted versions of binary Hell.

Battling their inner demons and tormented by devils forged from legend, their quest for absolution becomes a fight for survival. Friendships form, sacrifices are made, and unlikely heroes emerge. But can they overcome the malefic force born from source code and haunted by divine ambition?

Blending speculative technology, mythological horror, and spiritual reckoning, My Digital Soul is a harrowing, genre-bending tale of sin, remorse, and the search for forgiveness in a simulated world where the deepest secrets of your soul are laid bare.

Goodreads Review

My Digital Soul is an entertaining, character-driven story I could not stop reading. I loved the character development and how the tapestry of the tale was woven around them. The science is accessible to the average reader, and the mythology has an interesting modern twist. This is one of the best artificial intelligence stories I have read to date, and I look forward to future projects by this author from Down Under. I recommend My Digital Soul to anyone who likes a well-written, fun story full of action and unexpected plot twists.
