Brief Author Bio:

I have a few professional publication credits: an essay in a limited-run anthology, and a column on student diversity at The University Daily Kansan. I also have a short play slated for production at the university. I'm working on my honors thesis this fall and then applying to KU's MFA program.

Synopsis: Daydreams

Eric Hudd is an Artistic Incorporated worker who is losing sleep to disturbing dreams. Trying to make a clean living is hard enough without having to produce 900 units a day on three hours of sleep. He tries not to complain; at least the recent tax-credit allows non-genius fleshies like him to have a job again.

But when his dreams start bleeding into his morning walk down Corporate Row, he finds himself questioning his sanity. His unease only worsens when he finds out he’s not the only one experiencing lucid daydreams. Determined to beat it out and make a “fucking living”, he hunts down the clues and ends up on a side of corporate life he never dreamed of.

Now he has to figure out how to end an experiment involving half the city. But will he be willing to give up what he’s been given? Or will he be convinced by the ever-growing network closing-in around him? And who is on the right side?

This surreal trip into a collective dreamscape will leave you wondering which world is real, and if it’s really better that way…
