The Reality Plague

by Doug Welch

Overview

Civilization poises on the edge, as the human species races toward the cliff of self-extinction. The threat of a virulent plague causes people to hide in virtual realities to try to pretend some semblance of normalcy. But the truth is they’re trying to deny the doom awaiting them in the future.
But what is the dividing line between reality and virtuality? Is everyone living in a dream?
Can two lonely people like Jake Harrison and a mysterious woman named Liv be the keys that can halt the slide? The outcome of their struggle promises an end to their loneliness and might mean the salvation of the human race.
With the aid of a quirky, self aware computer and some friends they just might be able to pull it off and end the Reality Plague forever.
That is, if they’re not killed in the effort.

This edition of The Reality Plague, with new material, a new cover and doubled in content, envisions the book I sat out to write from the beginning. – Doug Welch

About the Author

Although I'm a retired community college instructor, I lived another life and acquired a wide range of experiences before my teaching and now author gig. I served the U.S. Navy and my country in Vietnam. I repaired robots and automated equipment in the aerospace industry. I was publicity chairman of the California Belly Dance Association for a while, actor in a motion picture, Manufacturing Engineer and Regional Chairman of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers, and finally Professor of Manufacturing Technology at a local community college. Name it, and I've likely done it.
However, despite threatening to do so for many years, I'd never written a book. At least, until now. It's a lot of work. You really, really have to love it. Fortunately, (or unfortunately) I do love it and plan to continue it as long as I can type, scribble or speak.
Stay tuned for more. (See my website,Facebook and my blog for new books.)
