About this book

Tap once if Human is a speculative fiction set in a near European future. CereBrose, a data company, has a project to manipulate criminal enterprise in order to re-channel its profits back into tax susceptible channels. Raj, a young security screen monitor has just broken up with Helen, a professional ice-dancer, when he joins the project thanks to Penny a scientist with CereBrose. I wrote this ebook from my interest in exploring that funny frontier in the mind where you reach for something you can't quite grasp - this happens pretty quick for me with mathematics. I went on writing and found myself entering into the hearts of us people type things and into the huge, airy, upper spaces available for automating.
