Hello. My name is John Stevens, and I’m an aspiring author.
Someone asked me why I want to be an author. Well, Kurt Vonnegut’s novel, Player Piano, gave me the idea that a speculative fiction writer should address the question, “What could go wrong?”
So, that’s why I write and post stories about virtual reality and sex robots.
Now, virtual reality can help burn victims by making them think they’re in Antarctica. Imagine that. Some therapists use virtual reality as a tool to treat Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, autism and fear of flying. Sex robots might help us address such problems as sex trafficking and sexually transmitted diseases.
I have a pretty good idea of what could go wrong with these technologies - especially if they’re used together - because I grew up watching too much TV. Then, after I got over a TV show called Love, American Style, free internet pornography came along just in time for my midlife crisis.
To read about how I imagine a future with virtual reality and sex robots, please download my long short story, Retro VR, or read my short story, Real Human Blood. I’ve included links in this post and on my Twitter profile. Retro VR is my entry in a writing contest. The more it’s downloaded, the better chance I have of winning. So, I’d appreciate it if you would share the story on social media, too. Or, share this video.
Thank you.

If you follow the link, you'll see a synopsis of the story. Look to the right of the screen. You should see a DOWNLOADS OPTIONS menu. I prefer PDF, but READ ONLINE works just as well. You can download it to a Kindle or ereader.
