Northern British Columbia, Canada - What happens when humanity creates technology powerful enough to challenge its understanding of life, reality, and the divine?
In his science-fiction novel The Ficcom Creation Link: Digital Gods, Canadian author C.R. Endacott takes readers into a technologically advanced future where artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and interstellar travel have transformed civilization, but have failed to eliminate humanity’s oldest struggles with power, identity, love, survival, and the search for meaning.
Set in the year 2124, Digital Gods imagines a future in which the remnants of Earth’s civilizations have consolidated under a single global authority. Towering cities, autonomous technology, advanced artificial intelligence, and biological innovation have reshaped human existence.
At the centre of this world is the Ficcom_Creation_Link, a mysterious digital system that connects people and technology on an unprecedented scale. As questions emerge about its true nature and purpose, the boundaries between technology and spirituality, knowledge and belief, and reality and illusion begin to fracture.
Blending science fiction, mystery, thriller, and philosophical speculation, Digital Gods explores a question that has become increasingly relevant in an age of rapidly developing technology: If humanity continues to create increasingly powerful forms of intelligence, will we remain in control of what we create, or will our creations fundamentally change what it means to be human?
For Endacott, speculative fiction provides a way to explore questions that do not have easy answers.
“My stories usually begin with a philosophical question,” Endacott says. “Then I imagine a world where that question has real consequences and tell the story through the characters who have to live with those consequences. I want readers to be entertained and taken somewhere unexpected, but I also want the questions to stay with them after the story is finished.”
Endacott is a novelist, screenwriter, and educator living in northern British Columbia. He wrote his first novel at sixteen and has continued writing ever since, publishing more than fifteen novels across multiple genres.
A teacher for twenty-one years, Endacott currently teaches seventh grade and previously taught Grade 11 and 12 International Baccalaureate literature and language at an international school. His experience with literature, education, and storytelling has helped shape a writing style that combines imaginative worlds with questions about identity, morality, faith, suffering, and the forces that influence human character.
His adult science-fiction work includes the dystopian novel The Children of the Earth that Was, published in 2022. That novel follows Zee, an enslaved woman trapped within an alien system of exploitation and forced reproduction, whose rebellion places her in a fight for survival against a powerful system determined to destroy her.
With Digital Gods, Endacott turns his attention toward the relationship between technological progress and humanity’s enduring spiritual and philosophical questions.
Endacott is particularly interested in characters who are shaped by difficult circumstances and the choices they make in response to suffering. His own reflections on suffering and resilience were profoundly influenced by his family’s experience after his daughter survived a severe brain infection in 2012 that resulted in brain damage. Her strength and tenacity continue to influence the resilience of the characters he creates and the questions he explores through fiction.
Although Endacott’s work deals with serious ideas, he wants his stories to remain entertaining, surprising, and accessible.
Beyond novels, Endacott has recently expanded into screenwriting. He is currently developing a television series with the working title Public Education and has completed the second draft of the pilot episode. He has also begun planning a sequel to Digital Gods.
When he is not teaching or writing, Endacott plays guitar, runs, experiments with technology and app development, creates art and short-form videos, and occasionally writes essays simply for enjoyment, a pastime his wife considers one of his more unusual hobbies.
The Ficcom Creation Link: Digital Gods is available now in print and digital formats through Amazon Inc.
