Introduction to the Book of Immersion and the Glossary, read by Bella



Lose yourself in the safety of books with "The Book of Immersion: Volume 1, Strata 10 - Dinfant Trouble (Synthetic Love)"!

Enter a Dystopian World Unlike Any Other.

Dive into the futuristic world of Strata 10, where society has been irrevocably changed by the advent of synthetic companions—androids that are more than mere machines; they are intricate beings that challenge the very fabric of humanity. In this first volume of The Book of Immersion, author Sarnia de la Mare explores a society where the line between human and machine has blurred, creating a rich tapestry of love, loss, and artificial life.

A Thrilling Tale of Love, Technology, and Societal Transformation



In a time where perfect synthetic companions are manufactured to meet the emotional needs of humans, the Dinfants—androids that resemble babies and young children—pose new moral and social dilemmas.


 


Originally created by a single manufacturer and designed to be perfect replicas of human children, these early 22nd-century androids have become scarce and highly sought after. But when these Dinfants began to exceed their programming and learn continuously, they were deemed too unpredictable and potentially dangerous, leading to a mass recall and destruction order. However, many still roam the world, stirring both fascination and fear.

Synthetic Love: A New Kind of Relationship

As humans in the Midcast Projects grapple with loneliness and infertility, they turn to Dinfants for companionship. These androids become beloved children to their owners, filling a void that only a parent-child bond can fill. But with love comes heartbreak. As these machines continue to mimic real children, humans find themselves falling into deep emotional bonds, only to face the harsh reality that their synthetic children will never truly grow up, never truly love back in the way a human does.

A Gripping Narrative Filled with Mystery and Intrigue

This tale is not just about technology—it's about the human heart and its infinite capacity to adapt and evolve. Through the lens of synthetic love and the quest for familial connection, Strata 10: Dinfant Trouble examines what it means to be human in a world where machines are almost indistinguishable from us.

You may be wondering what the Glossary is all about.

Glossary Chapter Description for Amazon: "Immersion V1" by Sarnia de la Mare

Dive into the intricate world of "Immersion V1" with this comprehensive glossary chapter, an essential guide for navigating the complex terminology and vivid setting of the Zones. This chapter serves as a detailed lexicon for readers, introducing them to the unique vocabulary and cultural nuances of a dystopian society where technology, resistance, and survival intertwine.

The glossary begins with entries like "Ableteen," describing a high-tech, solar-powered android designed for household tasks, and "agitator," defining those who disrupt or protest against the status quo. It delves into the lives of the "assemblers," a collective of skilled individuals who construct robots and equipment from scavenged materials, blurring the lines between innovation and survival.

Readers will uncover the nuances of "bits," the unregistered currency circulating in the Zones, and "bioflow," which explains the natural biological responses of humans in this altered environment. The glossary paints a stark picture of life on the "brightside," a stark contrast to the Zones, where organized government and advanced living conditions offer a semblance of order amidst chaos.

Explore the darker aspects of this world with entries like "bastardos," a gang of robbers and muggers, and "crimgangs," groups resembling modern-day pirates operating on the waterways. The glossary also sheds light on the educational tools like "datapods," which provide podcasts and video classes in a society where conventional education has evolved drastically.

The language of the Zones is further enriched with slang and colloquial terms such as "dinfant," denoting androids designed to look like children, and "freakspeak," the unique dialect spoken by mutated humans residing in the tunnels. Terms like "fooksymess" and "fuxywot" capture the raw, unfiltered expressions of life in a harsh, unforgiving environment.

This chapter not only defines words but also offers insight into the societal structure and cultural dynamics of the Zones. From "midcast," government-supervised habitats for professionals, to "PF/Protector Force," the police operating in the Midcast Projects, every term helps to build a vivid, dystopian world where every day is a struggle between control and freedom.

Whether it's understanding the lingo of the "hiddens" who live off-grid or deciphering "websynet," an encrypted underground messaging service, this glossary is an indispensable resource for readers eager to immerse themselves fully in the narrative. It provides a window into the minds of "zoners," the dwellers of the Zones, and their unique way of life, language, and survival strategies.

"Immersion V1" isn't just a story; it's an experience. And this glossary chapter is your key to understanding every layer of its richly woven tapestry. Perfect for fans of dystopian fiction, this chapter enhances your reading journey, ensuring you grasp every term and concept as you explore the depths of Sarnia de la Mare's captivating world.
