David Shipley Announces the Release of 'Hard Drive Backup'

When David Shipley watched science shows that kept talking about looking for life elsewhere in the universe, it aroused his curiosity about man’s ever increasing knowledge to find, not only life, but a place to live after the demise of Earth. It also got him to think how that might happen. This thought prompted Shipley to write “Hard Drive Backup” (published by iUniverse), a book about the possibility of a way to project human consciousness and knowledge into space.

What if there was a way to change the tragic course of humanity’s demise? The book tells the story of a brilliant group of individuals who will try to discover a way to spread humanity’s acquired knowledge into space, albeit without human form. For eons, Earth has been humanity’s hard drive, saving everything they learned. With the eventual destruction of this hard drive, it might be possible for the disembodied intellects to become the hard drive backup. However, time is running out.

“The human desire to obtain knowledge and pass it on to posterity is obsessive. It may take an evolutionary development in order for this to happen in the face of the ultimate demise of Earth,” Shipley says. “We need to think of ways that are not presently considered when looking how to save humanity and what we have spent our existence accumulating.

The story of “Hard Drive Backup” allows readers to tweak their imagination. It provides plausible answers to how humanity may expand to the universe.

David Shipley served in the U.S. Air Force and worked for Lockheed Martin for many years. In both places, he was on the forefront of knowledge available at the time. He found it amazing how quickly the new became the old and, more importantly, how often man is originally wrong. From this thought, “Hard Drive Backup” was born.
