Next Level Tina

By Hy Shaw

A mind-bending technological thriller

An unprecedented pandemic of vision problems unfolds, cause unknown. Car accidents, airplane crashes, and industrial accidents are on the rise.

Tina Geary works remotely for an international company, and she is the lead for two other programmers. As they are running simulations for government agencies, she develops ideas to improve the capability and profitability of her company. When summoned to company headquarters to be offered a promotion, her CEO and his staff discover that she has a disability and gets around in a wheelchair.

Ron Geary, Tina's brother, has a degree in physics, and he is an enthusiastic elementary school teacher. When an unusual vision problem occurs in one of his students, he gains some insight into its cause. He feeds his thoughts back through Tina to a friend of hers, a high-level university scientist. His insight proves useful to university and government teams working to solve the vision issue. Tina's simulation capabilities are also important toward understanding the causes and impacts of the vision problem. Tina and Ron are asked to join the team of scientists. Delores, a second-grade student of Ron's, also emerges as a key member of the team, because she keeps feeding back ideas that are very useful to the scientists.

While Tina's team continues running simulation queries, Tina begins to wonder if the characters in her simulations are sentient. Are they conscious? Are they self-aware? Could they know they are in a simulation?

Join Tina and Ron Geary as they find a way to understand an existence where the meaning of reality takes on new dimensions.
