Conscious Designs
Novella by Nathanial White
Miami University Press, May 2022
Nathanial White’s speculative fiction explores the human psyche, physical disability, culture, technology, and consumerism. In this new work, Eugene, a wealthy paraplegic, must decide whether to preserve his consciousness forever in a digital utopia or suffer the pain tormenting his existence. Yet the more he learns about digital replication, the more deeply he understands personhood, empathy, and the value of suffering.
