about me

I'm a retired Radiology Administrator. While working I had about 138 articles published in various radiology related journals. I wrote several columns my favorite being Food For Thought in Radiology Management.

I taught radiological physics for about 10 years and my favorite non fiction books usually deal with physics, quantum mechanics, artificial intelligence, philosophy, metaphysics, cosmology, and consciousness.

My first novel, published by PublishAmerica is Syster is Ready. I'm presently working on a new novel Unsweet Dreams and hope to be finished soon.

I like science fiction and I like Stephen King and Dean Koontz. The novel I'm working on now is in the style of King and Koontz.

SYSTER IS READY

Stephen J. Hage

When a supercomputer (SYSTER) emerges, able to think faster and better than all the humans who've ever lived lots of people get worried.


What would happen if a private company developed a computer faster and more powerful than any computer that ever existed; one that could think orders of magnitude better and faster than all the humans who’d ever lived? Would the government, DARPA and NSA, be interested and concerned? Would they see it as a threat? Would its emergence foreshadow great opportunity, great peril or both? Who would stand to gain? Who would stand to lose? What would its existence mean for humanity? Would we come to depend on this computer for dealing with problems that, without it, could not be solved? Would it be safe to trust the information it gave us? Once we became dependent on the availability of so much computer power, would it be possible to even consider turning it off? Read, “Syster is Ready” and find out.

I finished Chapter 3 and, I'm glad to say I'm still fully engaged. I'm impressed with your skills in describing setting, scenes and surroundings. It makes me feel like I'm there with you. I especially enjoyed your description of the bus ride and your use of the plastic bags. That was very real a... view book

I finished chapter 6 and now I'm more caught up in the story. I like the relationship between Maggie and Cindy. It's a good device for fleshing out parts of the story on sort of an oblique. I think the pacing is good and I'm enjoying the way the story unfolds. I'm not paying attention to typos... view book
