John Sundman’s Books
Acts of the Apostles
A thriller about nanomachines, neurobiology, Gulf War Syndrome, and a Silcon Valley messiah.
"...a book infused with a sensibility that you don't normally expect a 'hard science fiction' novel to have: real emotions, real heartbreak and a real sense of the craziness at the core of the human condition."
—Andrew Leonard, Salon.com
Cheap Complex Devices
An anthology of the winners of the inaugural Hofstadter Prize for Machine-Written Narrative, with a preface by the editor and an introduction by the Hofstadter Prize Committee
"Cheap Complex Devices is astonishing, on just about every level a book can be astonishing."
—Rusty Foster, Kuro5hin.org
The Pains
In Freemerica, where Orwell's 1984 is fused with Ronald Reagan's 1984, a young monk tries to save the world from disintegration.
"All three of Sundman's books are somewhere between excellent and brilliant. ... The Pains touches upon the key issues of our time: it is a book which is philosophical to the point of being mystical."
—Michael Allen, Grumpy Old Bookman

Creation Science
Creation Science, about 1/4 written, is a technothriller about scary science– like designer DNA, brain hacking & mind control, computer viruses and biological viruses. It’s about the phony politics of the so-called war on terror, it’s about fundamentalism and anti-science, about transhumanism and hypercapitalism and other modern delusions, and it’s about decent people trying to save humanity from itself.
In it you’ll find the stuff of all great thrillers: conspiracy, duplicity, double-crosses, dispensational Christian fascism, misunderstandings, confusions, car crashes, megalomaniacal villains (in and out of government), explosions, gunplay, Russian Mafias, neuroscience, coincidence, mysterious islands not far from Cape Cod, information theory, disease cowboys in Central Africa looking for the cause of Lassa Fever in the 1970′s, Jane’s Addiction, Mission of Burma, love, regret, remorse, nostalgia and sex.
I’m expecting the book to be written & published by late spring 2010, if not sooner. Pre-orders much appreciated; the $$’ll help me get through the cold months. Prices may go up once the book is in hand after the snow melts.
