    Omnis: Last Man of Earth with Derrick Howard

    Omnis: Last Man of Earth with Derrick Howard

    In this edition of AI, we are joined by attorney, poet, and author, Professor Derrick Howard. We have the privilege of discussing Derrick's new book, Omnis: Last of Earth. It was a wonderful conversation about the book that led deeper into discussion about human history, society, culture, philosophy, and of course, the weird. If you love Science Fiction, Futuristic Dystopian, kung-fu, action, thriller,  with all kinds of twists and turns, this is the book for you. An informative blurb and where you can buy the book will be listed below. Y'all will not regret purchasing this book, diving into it, and having it on your shelves to revisit anytime. 

    "On Intergalactic Independence Day Earth 2050, Sledge, a reluctant, blind hero, is dragged, kicking, and screaming into a gallant struggle for survival just like you. With only a walking stick and grit as aid, he finds himself in a dystopic universe pitted against celestial beings exploiting the confluence of apex AI, cancer cultures, perpetual acts of genocide, and humankind's irrepressible self-indulgence to exterminate humans for past misdeeds and future crimes. Like you, fate demands Sledge concede if freedom is best achieved by accepting the destiny he shares with all other humans or by continuing to evade it with precious little in hand. This epic, action-packed, Afrofuturistic, sci-fi novel, Omnis: Last Man of Earth, sets forth Sledge's journey as he tangles with celestials, transhumans, aliens, drones, and sentients while beings throughout the universe gather around holoprojectors to wager on Earth's destruction. Will you be a spectator in your self-destruction or a participant in your survival? Read on ... The clock is ticking. Tick, tick, tick ...! What are you going to do?"

All the best things!!!

The guys are tackling some of the best topics. I rank them up there with the Blurry Boys and Mr. Confessionals. Seriously great content and the hosts are the real deal.

Longer intro

Great show. And to all the haters that say your intro is to long. I vote for a full 90 min intro on loop just to piss them off. It will be your number one downloaded episode!!
Keep it up guys. Awesome show.
