The OSIRIS War

By Matthew P. Schmidt

The Artificial Gods brought immortality. Now they're failing.

Twenty-two year old Mary Firebrightsky has just graduated from college with a promising future ahead of her. After all, she's going to live forever. Everyone lives forever these days, thanks to digital "gods" that grant eternal life in virtual space. But she needs a job, and the people she's competing with have several lifetimes' worth of experience and she has none. When she can't even qualify for indentured servitude to pay off her student loans, she takes a risky move at self-employment under a religious loophole that follows the ancient human faith, Catholicism.

As the new gods fail, anarchy ensues as people fight for their right to eternal life. Can Mary, with her newly formed conscience, serve her clients, her God, and her own need to survive?

Trigger Warning: 2020. Writing this book was the author's way of coping with present events. This book is thinly-veiled political commentary set in the downfall of a dysfunctional republic and its broken gods. But if you want a book about hope when all else is hopeless, you've found the one.
