Summary
In a near future where the boundaries between human intellect and scientific breakthroughs blur, 'Call Me Al' unfolds the life-changing journey of Greg Nolan. Once an everyday man with a blue-collar background, Greg's existence is irrevocably altered by a revolutionary gene therapy meant to cure his brain condition. Instead, it elevates his cognitive abilities to extraordinary levels, propelling him into a reality filled with daunting challenges and complex moral questions.
This compelling narrative dives into the ethical dilemmas of genetic modification and the unintended consequences of tampering with human nature. Greg's story is interwoven with deep relationships transformed by his new reality—his evolving romance with Heather, a dedicated theater director, and his intellectual camaraderie with Dr. Tara Flynn, a pioneering geneticist.
A captivating subplot with Athena, his advanced AI assistant, explores our deepening dependence on technology and the delicate balance between help and control. As Greg strides through this uncharted territory, 'Call Me Al' raises critical questions about the ethical boundaries of scientific advancement, the core of human identity, and the irreplaceable importance of connection and empathy.
Set fifteen years ahead, the novel reflects on the trajectory of current scientific progress and the enduring question of our essence as human beings. “Call Me Al' is a thought-provoking story for those fascinated by the emotional intricacies of human connections and the speculative potential of future innovations.
