Agnosis is a cyberpunk-ish techno thriller set in the distant future. John Dorian and Amara Cain are tech employees of the Masonic Archive Infocache, a personality/personal data digital archive. While tracking and eliminating a data spider that has infiltrated the Infocache, Dorian, the resident IT dork and erstwhile systems hacker, unwittingly uncovers a galaxy-spanning conspiracy to enslave all of humanity to a semi-divine alien race.
Assisted only by the virtual avatar of their nemesis, John and Amara spiral from universe to dataverse, race against time and the overpowering foes to unravel the secret obsession of the most renowned technological pioneer in human history.

Agnosis was originally blogged on Wincing at Light from January 2008 to April 2008. It is now hosted on its own archived site. Read and/or download it here.
I found and downloaded Agnosis on the ManyBooks site and downloaded it to my iPhone to read in my spare time.
I was quickly captivated! It hit all the right buttons for me. It was cyberpunk. It discussed the perceived “reality” of virtual worlds as well as realistically projecting their future manifestation from their current state.
The book was also obviously written by someone deeply familiar with internet and database technologies, so probably some of the pleasure I derived from reading your book came from my pride at actually being able to understand the origins of much of the technologies you discussed in your book.
Thank you for writing such a thought provoking and interesting book and making it freely available on ManyBooks.
Thanks, Cindy. I appreciate the feedback. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

I, too, found Agnosis at manybooks.net and downloaded it. After carrying it around on my Kindle for several months, I broke into it yesterday.
So far: excellent! Can’t believe this puppy is free. Baen would have published it!
