An e-Bestiary, part 1

My forthcoming novel WARNING: SOMETHING ELSE IS HAPPENING is replete withe-beasts of all sizes, descriptions, and attitudes toward the human race. Where do the e-beasts live? In the Internet, of course, which  in WARNING is called Networld.

Cel, the Hero

Cel was the star of CEL & ANNA: A 22nd CENTURY LOVE STORY, the prequel to WARNING. In that first book, he lived in Earthworld. Now, he lives in Networld.

Cel is a robust, intelligent e-beast who wants only to do good. He is something like a boy scout, which comes from his once being a personal computer, devoted by design to one person. He is a hero, a natural leader. He has two children, Stowe and Snow, about whom you will find out more later.

Think of a starry sky, or the Milky Way. This is not so fanciful. Below is a picture of the Internet taken from Wikipedia. The title of the article is “A Small Look at the Backbone of the Internet.

Look and marvel:
