The DeepFake Conspiracy: A Gripping Thriller for the Digital Age

    Dear Folks:
    I'm thrilled to announce the release of my debut thriller, The DeepFake Conspiracy.  When devastating deepfake videos begin to destroy lives, investigative reporter Emma Carter teams up with a reluctant tech genius, Ryan Blake. Together, they chase the truth through a web of lies, digital deception, and high-stakes danger. Every lead brings them closer to exposing a powerful syndicate-and closer to losing everything. With breathtaking twists and heart-pounding suspense, The DeepFake Conspiracy asks a chilling question: In a world where truth can be manufactured, who-and what-can you trust? 
    Available now on Amazon in all three formats -- https://www.amazon.com/dp/1966481705

    Hope you enjoy the read.
    Sincerely,
    Dave

    Dear Chatterjee,

    I have always admired science fiction literature because it shows that science helps us understand reality, while art allows us to shape it. If humanity is to continue exploring space with fresh determination, it will depend not only on engineers and physicists but also on the power of imagination that can see far beyond current technology.

    Poland has been truly fortunate to have remarkable writers in this field, especially in hard science fiction. Stanisław Lem, Jacek Dukaj and Janusz Zajdel each brought together a scientific way of thinking with artistic sensitivity in their own distinctive manner. Zajdel, who was a nuclear physicist by training, reminds me how the most valuable ideas often appear when scientists and engineers allow their creativity to guide them.

    We are living in fascinating times. Ideas that once belonged to the world of fantasy have now become part of everyday life. It is inspiring to see a member of our community combining a scientific mind with artistic vision. I look forward to reading your work and wish you great success with it.

    Best regards,
