'MultiReal' trade paperback cover

Infinite Possibility Is Only a State of Mind.

David Louis Edelman’s debut novel Infoquake was called “the love child of Donald Trump and Vernor Vinge” and hailed as the best science fiction debut of 2006. The story continues with MultiReal, the stunning second book in the Jump 225 trilogy. Natch’s struggle will take him from the halls of power in Melbourne to the ruined cities of the diss. Hanging in the balance is the fate of MultiReal, a technology that could end the tyranny of the Council forever — or give the Council the ultimate weapon of oppression.

Praise for MultiReal

“Edelman brings fresh air to the technological thriller… MultiReal itself is firmly established as one of the most fascinating singularity technologies in years.”

“The Matrix meets Boston Legal… A true page-turner that I could not put down… The combination of extraordinary world building, compelling characters that grow on you in Jara and Natch, legal intrigue, political maneuverings and fast action made MultiReal an even more entertaining book for me than Infoquake, which I loved too.”
Fantasy Book Critic

He won’t die today, of course, said Marcus. His voice barely registered above the clanging of the cargo loaders and the yelling of the dockworkers. Not this week or even this month. But the worries hang from the high executive’s neck like lusterless pearls, Margaret. They weigh him down and break his will. I can see it…
