The Downloaded
The new novel by Canada's top Science Fiction writer
In 2059 two very different groups have their minds uploaded into a quantum computer in Waterloo, Ontario.
One group consists of astronauts preparing for Earth's first interstellar voyage. The other? Convicted murderers, serving their sentences in a virtual-reality prison.
But when disaster strikes, the astronauts and the prisoners must download back into physical reality and find a way to work together to save Earth from destruction.
The Downloaded debuted in a six-month exclusive window as an Audible Original narrated by Academy Award-winner Brendan Fraser promoted by national TV and radio ad campaigns. This print edition is coming out immediately after Audible's exclusivity ends and is being supported by a six-city cross-Canada author book tour.

This was very unfortunately my first read from this author. Apparently he’s won all the awards but this was heinously inconsistent, forced in some “woke” stuff that didn’t fit into the story, and otherwise felt like a 1950s writer with all the built in misogyny and patriarchy which made it even more bizarre
