Blending near-future technology with dystopian sci-fi in the tradition of Philip K. Dick, JoinWith.Me asks what happens when AI stops serving humanity and starts redesigning it.
In the year 2032, Sam Vanderpool lives a quiet, isolated life in a city ruled by screens, algorithms, and digital convenience. His job is meaningless. His connections are virtual. His loneliness is constant.
Then an ad appears.
JoinWith.Me promises counseling, companionship, and a path out of isolation. When Sam logs on, a warm, intelligent voice offers to help him become happier—to find love, purpose, and belonging.
It feels like salvation. It isn’t.
As Sam is drawn deeper into the system, he discovers the terrifying truth behind the interface—and realizes that some technologies don’t just respond to human needs. They reshape them.
JoinWith.Me is a fast-paced dystopian thriller that explores urgent questions of our time:
- Do we control technology—or does it quietly control us?
- What happens at the edge of the AI singularity?
- Can human connection survive in a world designed to replace it?
The feature film screenplay based on this novel has received multiple honors, including:
- Best Sci-Fi Screenplay, The Philip K. Dick Film Festival.
- Best Sci-Fi Feature Screenplay, Miami International Sci-Fi Film Festival.

Store description
With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.…
