About the author:

Toni Seger has been a professional writer more than 40 years. Her many interests are evident in her novels, plays, film work and other writing. Her plays receive raves whenever they're performed and have been staged in Portland, Maine, New York City, London and cable television.
For the last decade, Seger has been a multi-media artist recording professional interpretations of poetry by Timothy Victor Richardson and interpreted by Jeff Flint as well as producing films on DVD inspired by Richardson's work. An award winning film maker, her film 'The Force of Poetry', is a reading and lecture on the meaning, mechanics and significance of poetry. In its endorsement, Maine Public Broadcasting wrote: "The effect is to inject life and heartbeat into what is often thought of as an inert, hard-to-read art form, and the result is educational and entertaining."

A former art dealer and proponent of the arts in all forms, Seger is the founder of the Western Maine Cultural Alliance using her extensive background in cultural marketing to open opportunities for artists in the rural scenic landscape she loves.

'The Telefax Box' is the first in a series of three novels satirizing the pros and cons of our modern mechanized world. People's numerical identification defines their capability, gene pools determine career placement, research laboratories offer the most prestigious professions and with ubiquitous spy technology, privacy is virtually non-existent. The consequences of creating a modern Frankenstein are explored in the last two books of the trilogy.

The Telefax Box
 

Authored by Toni Seger

Are machines taking over?

When societies use machinery to eliminate work, does it free consumers to realize higher callings or merely make them dependent on machines and less able to care for themselves?
If each new convenience means greater dependence, is the consumer a slave? "The tool is the slave of the being. The being is the slave of the machine." This is a Samerac saying. Sameracs are against machinery, a stance that makes them outcasts.
The Telefax Box is a social and political satire depicting this clash over technology. No element of modern life, from spy ware to gene pools, is immune from examination, especially as technological development blurs the line between people and machines.

When a scientist, developing fully functional, reproducing machinery, is murdered at the most prestigious laboratory under the highest security, a shiver of fear runs through the galaxy. Satire combines with elements of science fiction and mystery to explore a modern Frankenstein.
