While We Were Sleeping
Om denne e-bog
On once warm night of summer, Danica went to sleep relying on a world of calculated risks and regularities. However, the world in which she woke up was quite different. A new, ruthless disease had caught humanity unprepared while she was sleeping. In this collapsing society, people fall asleep at random times, and stay unconscious for increasingly longer periods. No one could stay awake long enough to find a cure or to take care of others. The unthinkable became a certainty: the end of humanity was near.
This new story by Baltar Xinzo is not recommended for the faint of heart.

Om forfatteren
Baltar Xinzo is the pen name of a writer and engineer who has embraced the freedom of writing fiction to jog the emotional intelligence of his readers. Xinzo speculative fiction is characterized by a dark tone, often qualified as sci-fi noir, but, unlike other exponents of this style, his stories are permeated by a sense of hope and human sensibility. In his fiction writings, he explores existentialist issues in the backdrop of genres such as cyberpunk, hard science fiction, trans-humanism, and trans-realism.
You may have realized that Baltar Xinzo is the pen name of a real human being, not a mere AI. He lives in Ottawa, Canada, with his wife and two lovely cats that make him company during his creative sessions. When not writing fiction, he is a research scientist, among other things.
