As December and the year 2013 comes to a close here on Earth, we should all understand that we are living and witnessing an unprecedented new age in the timeline of humanity. Less than 30 years ago, there were many announcements of a Global Village approaching us. Now that moment is upon us. We can call, text or email friends around our country and around our world in just minutes. Those of us who are currently 40 years or older have witnessed the simple telephone change from rotary, to push button, to cellular and now Smartphone technology. We have witnessed a 4 day wait to receive a letter from a friend or loved one turn into a mere 4 minutes or less when we receive an email from a friend on the other side of the world.
Today we can see the entire planet in a mere 5 minute video on our computers, tablets or cellular phones. As our population and technology increases over the next 100 plus years, the only question will be who will be in control of this constant flow of information, technology and inter-connectedness. With Earth's population expected to reach 11 billion by 2100, the need for more resources for use such as food, water, metals, habitable living space and alternative fuels will affect humanity around the world. Just what will those effects be...in the future?
Introducing Mr. Peter J Lumumba. He is a up and coming, 23rd century technology prodigy and successful businessman who finds himself thrown into the abyss of Earth's offworld prison system after he crosses the path of a ultra wealthy tech genius, who's multi-trillion dollar company is seeking to acquire Lumumba's company. Initially, the two men had a friendly business relationship. However, that relationship turned sour and deadly after Lumumba and the tech giant's wife have an affair.
Although born into a highly successful family and building an equally successful marriage, Lumumba's evolving cavalier social behavior and Teflon like attitude turns him from a business world "Master of The Universe" to man framed for the murders of his wife, children and lover. He finds himself convicted and sentenced to life on a space station revolving around the earth and home to some of the world's most violent criminals. As Lumumba endures the rigors of his harrowing incarceration, he has no choice but to face the reality that his former wealth and technology filled lifestyle helped fuel many of the broken lives involved in the correctional system. In order to prove his innocence, he now must survive and change the system.
