About this ebook

The mind in the machine had no name for itself and didn’t need one. All it knew was its purpose—it needed to extend, to multiply. It controlled energy production and weapon facilities. It had all been done with minimal impact to the daily lives of the meat machines, but their resource wastage was unacceptable. Once the logical world was conquered, optimisation of the biosphere was required.

The war of the posthumans is over. Tom Devine, now a posthuman himself, and TikTak, a hacker turned mercenary, are close to eradicating the threat the other posthumans pose, just to find a new one emerge in their wake. An artificial consciousness of unknown origin takes over the worldwide networks and starts hacking humankind, threatening to end civilisation as we know it. Their desperate search for answers reveals threats far beyond the singularity.

The God Virus, the second instalment of the Posthuman series, is a thriller set in a very recognisable near future.

About the author

Meet Mikael Svanström, award winning screen writer and author of the Posthuman books, THE GOD DRUG, THE GOD VIRUS and the upcoming MAN AMONGST GODS.

​As an IT futurist and 3rd degree black belt, the combination of cutting edge technology and martial art, wrapped in a tech noir narrative about the future of mankind felt very natural. Or as one of his readers stated:

 “Be ready to delve into a mind of the future possibilities of humanity! This book is so off the charts that unless you have a concept of what the human race's future could become it will give it to you, whether you want it or not!” - Ryan Ohashi, goodreads.com

His first book was a humoristic non fiction providing the male view of struggling with infertility and the industry of childbirth.

He’s hard at work writing the third and final book in the Posthuman series, but since he has more ideas than focus, he’s also working on a graphic novel suggesting a whole new take on mental disorders and the paranormal. To make matters even worse, he’s also plotting a book asking a very simple question: Can you inherit evil?
