About the Book
In Utopian Dreams, a young research scientist works on an I.Q. enhancing drug and tries it on himself. He ends up destroying the human race and beginning again hundreds of years later as he clones his aging, almost dead, cyborg body.
Other stories in this book include subjects of romance, mystery, adventure, science fiction and fantasy. Written with a wide audience in mind, the author–John Hoel, is at his best writing short stories. He resides in a log cabin by a pond nestled in the Ocooch Mountains of southwestern Wisconsin and writes every day.
About the Author
John H. Hoel took the usual writing classes in
college, choosing to study at night because of his enlistment in the
Air Force during the early 1970's. When one of his professors
told him he should write for a living--he was flattered but admits he
had no clue as to what that might entail or even why he should.
The prospect of writing was never seriously considered. He was
young and full of other ideas.
One Sunday afternoon, about thirty years later, when
faced with the dilemma of a premature second retirement because of
illness, he remembered what this teacher had said to him when he handed
back Sergeant Hoel's term paper with an "A" written across the
top: "You should write."
