Mother of Floods

To find our future we need to reconnect to our past and each other...
 
Mother of Floods is set at the end of our world. Ravaged by greed and technology it has seemingly spun beyond human control. Yet in this unraveling is a chance for a new beginning as the digital, physical, and spiritual worlds collide.
 
The story begins in the UK, with Martha Johnstone and her dead husband Dave, who lives on in digital form. Together they embark on a journey to heal their troubled family, overcoming mountains of debt and support an anorexic daughter and a reclusive son.
           
Their quest is aided by three other women from very different countries and backgrounds, who are also desperate enough to go to any lengths to wrest back control over their lives. And as the interlocking narratives unfold, their pursuits become a battle for the soul of the world, wherein connections between the spiritual, technological, and human worlds, create an incredible energy that infects the digital world, creating a new kind of being. The impersonal, transactional information superhighway is transformed into a sentient force for good, with the language of electric pulses shaping words of power that convert the thoughts we think into positive changes in our physical world.
 
In other words, the internet gets a soul.
 
Underpinned by strands of ancient and modern mythology, Mother of Floods immerses the reader in the brave new world of 24/7 self-sustaining algorithms, showing how individual choices can lead to powerful ripple effects, if only we have the courage to collectively hit the reset button.
