From the Author Hi readers! My first novel, DRO2WN (pronounced drown), is a dreamy work of metaphysical fiction. My second novel was a zombie-blood-fest titled The Unlikely Event. Not surprisingly, zombies far outsold speculative lit-fic. Sell-out? Debatable. Sucker for zombies? Definitely. I've been working on my third novel, Idempotency, for several years now. It's written in my favorite genre of science fiction, so it's especially important to me that I get it right. Hopefully I have. I started writing Idempotency way back in 2010. Later that same year I also began working at Amazon.com. The wealth of talented individuals building the future around me served as a fantastic muse as I set about to create a technologically advanced fictional future one-hundred years from today. More than any other technical advancement, our eventual ability to drastically extend life expectancies will change humanity as we know it. The manuscript for Idempotency went through more twists than the plot within its pages. Writing it was exhilirating and exhausting. If you enjoy reading it even a fraction as much I did writing it, then I've done my job. Fingers crossed. Kindle Scout Team: When did you decide to become a writer? Josh: I wrote my first book in first-grade, it was a horror novel involving ghosts. It was only mildly gory. In college I was constantly jotting down anecdotes for a future book. When my friends (the same ones from first-grade) did something funny, they would ask me, "Will that make it into The Book?" Kindle Scout Team: What is the inspiration for Idempotency? Josh: Working as a Software Manager (disclosure: I work at Amazon on helping indie authors publish their books!) I am blown away by the possibilities technology offers for the future of humanity. Kurzweil's books are my inspiration. At some point (sooner? later?) humans will live an interminably long time. This will change everything. Kindle Scout Team: What books have influenced your life the most? Josh: Fitzgerald's writing is poetic. Philip K. Dick has blown my mind many times (Ubik!). Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury. The Stand by Mr. S. King. I felt betrayed by the ending of Of Mice and Men as a young boy. Anything by Clive Barker, Dan Simmons, or Poe. Norwegian Wood by Murakami. Oh, and Seuss! Happy Reading! -- Josh

8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Future of Brainwashing, Not A.I By Meanwhile, Melinda Interesting tale about Mr. Wright's rather two dimensional version of the future. The story is used to showcase new technical advances as well as play up the rich 1% versus poor 99% and corporate versus underground techie. Unlike many novels that focus on hardware and software a century from now, this one is not about the growth of intelligence from artificial to sentience. This novel is actually about a system that can play a different virtual life for you a drastically faster rate - 3 days instead of over eighty years. When you remember your life and self after going through this process, then you are said to be idempotent.Our story gets off the ground when this technology is subverted for a rich man's use, and a deeply hidden radical technology group finds out and tries to combat the brainwashing of Dylan Dansby and the world.As a tech story, it was pretty good, with a good foundation in broad software knowledge. It keeps up the pace until 65% and picks back up at 85% for a big finish. The biggest problem I had, was there was little to no backstory to how the world got in the situation it was in, no clear picture of what the world really did look like other than slums and corps., and no clear financial model. While some was made to be so obvious it was a duh! moment, others were less so. The radical technical group reminded me of a older version of the lost boys. They didn't have any past successes, any current goals, only the one NRS battle. What is the deal with that? Hard to be the number one underground group if you haven't done anything.Bottom Line: This is a future story where that future is thinner, but the tech is showcased. Not a bad read, but not great. Not A.I., so don't get fooled by labels. If you like tech, you may like this, but don't expect a sophisticated plot.

By Jason P White Idempotency is a sci-fi tale whose themes will probably remind you of those found in Philip K Dick's works. It raises questions about the nature of reality and how technological advances may blur the distinction between reality and fiction. It explores the consequences of essentially ever lasting life - if you want it, and can pay for it. The characters used to tell this tale vary from a gregarious salesman to a pious business executive to an altruistic hacker covered in an animated flame tattoo. While technology features prominently, the focus is not on the tech itself (a fault I find in much of the tech heavy sci-fi out there), but the consequences of that technology. If you're looking for a thoughtful, entertaining read, give it a try.
9 of 10 people found the following review helpful. interesting By Amazon Customer This was an interesting take on where the world may go. Lots of different futures combined into something that actually doesn't seem so far fetched once you get into the book.It could still use a little editing for homonyms, but overall an interesting lively story with good transitions between scenes. I was never confused about which character I was reading about in each scene.I've read a lot of self published work from Amazon and I have to say this one was impressive!
