<\/a>The planning for ROOTCON 16 has been kicked off, this year’s theme is based on the novel Hard Wired by Len Vlahos<\/a>, the novel is a contemporary sci-fi story about a boy who might not be human.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Plot<\/strong>
Quinn thinks he’s a normal boy with an average life. That is, until he finds a trail of clues the father he barely knew left behind.
After Quinn unravels his father’s puzzles, he \u201cwakes up\u201d … and realizes his world was nothing more than a virtual construct. In reality, he\u2019s the first fully-aware A.I. in the world, part of an experiment run by a team of scientists\u2014including the man he thought was his father.
As the scientists continue to study him, Quinn’s new existence becomes a waking nightmare. Determined to control his own destiny, he finds allies in other teens\u2014including crush Shea\u2014and plots his escape.
But what does true freedom look like when you’re not human?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plans<\/strong>
The execution of ROOTCON 15 was smooth, yes there were hiccups along the way but they were manageable. With the country’s vaccination rate going uptrend and with the fewer lockdowns, the full-physical conference is within reach but can be misty. So for us to easily switch the event to full-virtual just in case something comes up along the way we will imprint what we had last year. ROOTCON 16 will still be a hybrid conference where con-goers get to pick if they will be on-site or virtual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
