In this imagined future, both humans and clones are bred for key characteristics. Lover clones, male and female, are bred for ultra-hot sex without complications; Joseph (human) has been
bred to be a phenomenally successful Wall Street analyst.
Joseph'ss grandfather, Joshua, followed a dream to genetically engineer foolishness out of the human race's8212; but discovered that in his own geopolitical world, he had a higher
mission: to spread genetic technology across every nation so that no single country could dominate.
Meanwhile, the sinister yet helpful Dr. Lieberman, CEO of the genetic engineering company Joseph'ss grandfather founded forty years earlier's8212;and on the lam for the last three decades
as the world'ss most wanted criminal's8212;has found a way to control Joseph, and others, through tiny surgical implants that contain complete brain clones of himself. In this way, he can
ensure that his brain continues even if his physical body does not. And it gives Joseph someone he can always talk to, even after he leaves his girlfriend.
Add a few more in-the-near-future plot elements like China becoming the world superpower, the radioactive contamination and abandonment of New York, a massive expansion of science,
philosophical questions of whether humans are gods to their clones, and a complex and sexy cast of characters mixing it up around the world's8212;and you'sve got Igor Gershengorin'ss
debut novel, Battleship of Fools.
Gershengorin, an award-winning film director/screenwriter, software developer, and mathematician, grew up in a large industrial and college city in the Ukraine. He immigrated to the US in
1989, and now lives in Brooklyn. He is available for interviews.
