Artificial Messiah: Legacy of a Fallen Prophet - Paperback

by J. P. S. Stalder (Author)

Manny's dad is dying. Sunny's dad is... complicated. Elsie just wants to find true love, but what will it cost? Three worlds collide in Taos, New Mexico. Backpackers, hippies, and cowboys converge in the shadows of the Tiwa Nation's ancient pueblo. Their story unfolds beneath the data-driven eyes of an AI led church and the lingering question: what is worth worshipping?

"Artificial Messiah" is a spiritual-psycho-philosophical punk rock novel, wrapping honey-soaked bandages around our technology-inundated culture in the backseat of a rusty four-by-four. It is a spirit quest journeying through a southwestern consciousness - a dilapidated Americana prayer at the crossroads of our technology, our future, our planet, and our humanity.
