Summary: “IMMORTALITY BYTES: Digital Minds Don’t Get Hungry” by Daniel Lawrence Abrams won “Best Science Fiction: Cyberpunk” in the 7th Annual American Fiction Awards (2024), won “Best Humor/Satire” in the Story Trade Awards (a Reedsy "Best Writing Competition), and the book made the 3rd cut/shortlisted and is still in contention to win Chanticleer's Cygnus Award for Best Science Fiction (2025). Tagline: “Living forever... it's almost worth dying for.” Genre: Sci-Fi/Humor/Political Thriller The Hook: Strives to be a satirical, progressive antidote to Ayn Rand’s ATLAS SHRUGGED. One-line Story Pitch: “When an idealistic hacker’s ex-girlfriend nears inventing digital immortality, an indicted tycoon compels him to steal it.” Back Cover Blurb: “Yay, free money and a life of leisure! Except… only if you never have children. Sure, a cute little version of you (but not yet so screwed up) sounds fun. But with AI robots taking more jobs, who can reject that “bargain” hoping to afford kids someday? Stu Reigns does. He’s an idealistic AI programmer and part-time influencer. His demisexual ex-girlfriend, Roxy Zhang, nears perfecting electronic immortality. Add in billionaire banking rascals, and there’s no more certainty — not even “Death & Taxes.” An old-money Southerner is buying Roxy’s company. This infuriates a sick, rival oligarch — who is about to be rightfully convicted of epic fraud. To escape to this digital eternal life, he compels Stu to steal it. You’ll never guess all the twists, but maybe the reader peering over your shoulder will.” LINKS to accolades and 5-star reviews for "IMMORTALITY BYTES: Digital Minds Don't Get Hungry" by Daniel Lawrence Abrams : - https://www.americanbookfest.com/2024afapressrelease.html - https://2024.storytradeawards.com/ - https://www.chantireviews.com/2024/09/03/the-2024-cygnus-awards-semi-finalists-for-science-fiction/ - https://readerviewsarchives.wordpress.com/2024/09/02/immortality-bytes-abrams-2/ - https://readersfavorite.com/book-review/immortality-bytes - https://sanfranciscobookreview.com/product/immortality-bytes-digital-minds-dont-get-hungry/ BOOK TRAILER: https://vimeo.com/1005688225
