Author Stephen Sadler Releases Mindset Sci-Fi Novel
Orion, MI – Stephen Sadler, CEO of SCATE Technologies, Inc. and Buz.FM, released his latest book, Mindset, (published by ADAS Publishing) January 1, 2015. In the story, neuroscientist Jack Cooper has just finished his latest invention, the Mindset – a Bluetooth headset device that converts thoughts to text by reading and storing a user’s brainwaves. When a Venture Capital Firm starts to back the technology, they decide the device has more valuable applications, particularly with the upcoming election. By implanting thoughts, and stimulating the pleasure center of the brain, they begin to brainwash people into voting for the Presidential Candidate, Rob LaVie. As he races across the country, Jack attempts to protect his family and distinguish the truth from the lies, in a journey that could change his reality forever.More

Yesterday, Aric Nesbitt (R) did just that. So, not wanting to work off rumor, we waited until the draft bill dropped to issue February’s Maven.
I recently attended a story-telling event with my long-time friend Cathleen Francois of GreeningDetroit.
