Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2040 is the year in which nothing can be grown from our Earth’s soil anymore. Extreme weather becomes incrementally frequent and devastating, dwindling food production as crops and livestocks die before harvesting. Even seafood isn’t available due to severe pollution. Food becomes increasingly expensive and inaccessible due to the lack of supply. Eventually, the world suffers from hunger. Professor Caesar Claudius MacDonald, an expert with several PhD in Genetics, yearns to alleviate such food shortage. With the help of his assistants Grace Merce and Judson Cotter, Caesar invented a meat animal named proteinball (later called butterballs) which has a 2 year life-cycle, both heat and cold resistance, and is edible down to the bones. His next step is to feed his livestocks with pure chemicals so that meat won’t be competing food with humans. Yet obstacles spawn when his beasts couldn’t digest all the feed. Desperate, he turns to an unexpected yet controversial life form to fill in the DNA of his inventions. With the genes of said creatures he succeeded.

Book excerpt: The Windownesian series features the adventures of the university student Jonathan Wills with his friends Meander, Athena, Zedekiah, as well as his roommates Alex the AI and Bobby the Alien. Each chapter centres around one topic, recording our characters experiencing it, and discussing it. Cyborg combines both AI and humans. In 2027, Dr Albert Epoch created the Living AI, which interlaces a computer brain with an existing human body. In the commencing chapter of The Windownesian, Jonathan meets his first roommate, discovers what’s so special about him, and helps him to be human. Do you have weird roommates? We all do. But do yours place strong-smelling vegetables everywhere, turn on the radio 24/7, and worst of all, insist to keep the windows shut? Have you ever wondered, what if their foreign behaviours are due to them belonging to another world? That is the roommate Jonathan going to meet in Chapter 2. It is extraterrestrial. It gives whatever it receives. Give it a hug, it grows arms to hug you back. Shoot it, it returns bullets. It’s the Chug-a-lug, the centre of Chapter 3 which descends onto Victoria Harbour. And behold, it has something to do with our alien roommate.
