Overview

Eugene, a wealthy paraplegic, must decide whether to preserve his consciousness forever in a digital utopia or suffer the pain tormenting his existence. Yet the more he learns about digital replication, the more deeply he understands personhood, empathy, and the value of suffering. This novella is a marvel: a vision of a not-so-distant future in which our bodies are virtually obsolete and our consciousnesses immortal. Into an otherwise nihilistic world, Nathanial White encodes a kind of tragic beauty suffused with longing. Reading CONSCIOUS DESIGNS made me want to download the author's brain, harness its powers of imagination, and wrestle with the questions he so intelligently dramatizes in these pages. —Christopher Castellani, author of Leading Men Nathanial White brings his lived experience of paralysis and recovery to CONSCIOUS DESIGNS. What follows is a journey into ethics, morality, and the philosophy of being and personhood. Each time I thought I knew where the story was going, it surprised me, and drew me deeper. The prose is reminiscent of classic science fiction greats such as Asimov or Aldiss who played with ideas like colors on a canvas. —Marie Vibbert, author of Galactic Hellcats CONSCIOUS DESIGNS knows what it is—which is more than its characters can say for themselves. Nathanial White's fiction has its mind on human consciousness and artificial intelligence and an exoskeletal boot planted firmly on story. If you find yourself returning to the sci-fi of Philip K. Dick and the philosophical provocations of Brian Evenson, CONSCIOUS DESIGNS is for you—at least, the version of yourself you call "you." ——Christopher David Rosales, author of Word is Bone Fiction.
