In "The Exchange: Mind To Body the Next Evolution", author Dennis Busche puts forth the premise that the US government now has the ability to download the human brain into a computer. This ability then allows for diseased or deceased humans to "transfer" from one body to another. Of course, the possibilities are endless for certain people to have a truly eternal life. But currently, the mind-to-body-transfer is controlled by the government and the transfers are all intended to facilitate the wishes and manipulations of top secret government agencies. When an Air Force pilot by the name of Frank is killed in the line of duty, he inadvertently undergoes his first transfer, leaving behind a wife and two children who assume Frank is dead.
The initial premise will be intriguing to most readers who view science fiction as simply a step prior to the realities of modern technology. It puts forth much food for thought concerning the morality and feasibility of prolonging life. It begs the question of whether select individuals are entitled to multiple lives in order to "improve" society and the human race in general. It also makes the reader ponder as to who should have access to the latest technology and who should have the decision-making powers as to how that technology is used in modern cultures. The introduction of the Masons into the plot was a bit confusing as it was unresolved for the reader. Despite political leanings which were apparent in the text, the author has provided the reader with a thought-provoking piece of literature.
