Mi: Diana, The Early Years. (The Age of Micronet Technology Book 1) by author Mark Miller, also known as Octavious Sage, is an elucidating epic fantasy in a 9-part series. It studies the course of events following an astounding scientific discovery that threatens to shake the very core of human civilization.
Several years ago, Dr. Juergen Taljaard became a prominent advocate of nanotechnology and a respected member of the global scientific community. In an essay titled ‘The Creation of Regenerative Brain Cells,’ he made the case, supported by his own findings from previous experiments, that brain cells could be fused with specific quantum-level particles to continuously improve their functions. If experimentally verified, this would increase human memory and cognitive abilities, enabling the brain to process information more quickly. The brain would also have a plethora of remarkable powers that would ensure a longer lifetime and eliminate the need to carry around electrical devices.
Conversely, Dr. Jaco Coetzee, a devoted enthusiast of Dr. Taljaard’s work, has been working with his Kenyan friend Dr. Maninga to carry out secret experiments based on Taljaard’s essays. The two seek to recreate Taljaard’s concept using their own methods until they establish it as a scientific reality. They successfully perform an experiment on a leopard, which to their surprise, yields shocking results. The scientific community applauds them, except for certain religious leaders opposed to cloning. Surprisingly, Taljaard’s wife had foreseen the implications. The events that follow, however, confirm her darkest suspicions and compel Taljaard to hide his work in an impenetrable spot, much to his dismay.
In this epic work of fiction, readers are taken right inside research laboratories to explore the potential of futuristic nanotechnology at a time when artificial intelligence is garnering international embrace. They are further introduced to a considerably more advanced development that opens possibilities beyond the current known uses of nanotechnology. The protagonist’s family serves as a vehicle for the author to deftly illustrate the difficulties that work-related concerns pose to family life. Through his daughter, the author not only makes original proposals but also demonstrates their viability. He also succeeds in drawing attention to the possible danger and scrutiny that such a significant discovery may bring. Her ability to persevere through extreme uncertainty and overcome the obstacles to becoming a prominent CEO is admirable and lends credence to the story’s main theme.
The themes of friendship, commitment, and ingenious revenge sparkle through the pages of Mi: Diana, The Early Years. (The Age of Micronet Technology Book 1). The start and finish of the book are marked by intense tension and thought-provoking content. After revealing a “genius” hiding place in the protagonist’s family, the author skillfully twists a delicate story point to appeal to a wider readership. His ability to create intricate scenarios which challenge our understanding of the universe while captivating us with sheer inventiveness will make it impossible to put this book down once you start reading it.
