Description
Born Posthumous blends music, memory, and technology in a world where the past refuses to stay silent. Manny Old, a legendary musician whose brilliance was overshadowed by personal struggles, leaves behind a lasting legacy. But his story doesn’t end with his death.
Through cutting-edge AI, Posthumous Manny—a digital recreation of the artist—emerges, composing new hits that blur the line between man and machine. Fans are enthralled, critics are intrigued, and society is forced to confront the ultimate question: can a soul be synthesized, and at what cost?
This genre-defying novel weaves together the stories of Emmanuel, a young musician haunted by the ghost of inspiration; Linz Sassoon, a manager with unyielding ambition; and the enigmatic Holographic Manny, a fractured idol whose legacy refuses to die. As timelines shift and reality bends, Fish Nealman's Born Posthumous invites readers into a world where fame, authenticity, and legacy collide in unpredictable ways.
A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
"Born Posthumous raises some fascinating, ethical, and moral questions about how far we can go in the future with AI. Is it acceptable to use algorithms to recreate and then supersede the human creative, artistic experience?" - Readers' Favorite
"Libraries seeking a novel that represents a delightfully complex, gender-bending foray into future possibilities and artistic ambition, which attracts literature readers with a heady blend of sci-fi, wry satirical observation, and experimental approaches to character-building, will relish how Born Posthumous creates a unique world." - Midwest Book Review
