Summary

In today’s episode, John C. A. Manley returns to discuss his latest book, All the Humans Are Sleeping. As the first installment of The Metaverse Trilogy, this is a story that combines sci-fi excitement with profound insights into our future – making it essential reading for anyone intrigued by the dramatic evolution of human-technology relationships…

Hailing from Stratford, Ontario, Canada, John is a writer of philosophical fiction who seamlessly blends seriousness with humor. With a background in Eastern philosophy, fine art, and ghostwriting, he began writing his first debut full-length novel in 2018.

Halted by the 2020 lockdowns, John shifted his focus to a new project: a short dystopian story exploring the potential trajectory of so-called “public health.” That short story eventually evolved into his debut novel, Much Ado About Corona. He is currently working on the sequel to All the Humans Are Sleeping, entitled Brave New Normal.
