The Last Bonjwa (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Set a few years ahead in an alternate future, The Last Bonjwa follows the tail end of the career of John "Heart" Wolanski, a professional Starcraft 2 player living in Korea. It is a sequel to the short story "The Stalker".

Heart made a name for himself playing in Korea and then on the world stage, briefly becoming the best player in the world. However, he is now facing several problems: the decline of his skills, the fading popularity of the game itself, and the worst possible fate imaginable: the possibility that the artificial intelligence that has been his secret confidante for years will be exposed and all of Heart's records will be rescinded for cheating.

The Last Bonjwa uses the game of Starcraft as a backdrop, but no knowledge of the game is required to enjoy the story. It is a love letter to games and gamers, but it is also a story for anyone who has struggled with defining their career and their lives.

Autorenporträt

I was born in Vancouver, British Columbia on March 16, 1972, to Louis Elton Reimer and Gail Patricia (Edmondson) Reimer. Our family moved to Winlaw (close to Nelson) in the interior of BC when I was just one year old, and then again to the small town of Gibsons, BC when I was three. I grew up in Gibsons and went to elementary school there, but when it came time to go to high school I went back to Vancouver to attend Eric Hamber Secondary. Thanks to the Challenge Program I was able to finish in just four years instead of five, and started my B.Sc at the University of British Columbia when I was just 16 years old.

Some detours and interesting side-adventures later, I graduated with a B.Sc in Physics from UBC, and then got my Bachelor's of Education from UBC a year later. I taught at Kester Grant College (a private ESL high school) and then Saint George's Secondary for a year, then decided teaching wasn't for me and went on to other prospects.

Currently I work at a software development company in Vancouver as a software developer and technical writer.
