And give perspective
This is why I write.
In my books, I bring to life worlds in which integrity is the primary motivation for making decisions. i seek to capture the mood of a subset of American culture.
In A Different Type of Soul, the characters are embroiled in a fast-paced world of computer innovation. The personal computer is still a concept that hasn’t been fully implemented. The leading technology firms race to be the first to put together and market an affordable personal computer.
Young engineers are recruited for this effort. They have an urgent sense of mission and are driven toward excellence. Some feel these engineers are being exploited by ambitious companies. The engineers feel, however, that they are being heroic, putting aside their personal lives and throwing themselves into efforts to innovate in record time.
In the midst of this frenzy, in the background, there are those trying to hold together personal relationships, reconcile the past, and forge a new future. It’s as complicated as the circuits that the engineers are building.
