THE THOGCHAG VIGIL is set in a futuristic scenario, and deals with Artificial Intelligence (AI) where it is possible to control and manipulate the minds of others. Following an intense 200 year galactic war those, that survive, use this AI to create a New World Order where the Code of Conduct, amongst other stipulations, strictly bars and punishes homosexuality. It is in an age where organ replacement has reached such sophisticated levels that persons can live up to several hundred years. In addition, almost all activities are being done by robots. Long lives with very little work leads to extreme permissiveness. On the other hand, there is a Group that believes in Buddhism and traditional family values, and gradually increases its influence to negate or neutralise the hedonistic aspects of those in power. Buddhist Thogchags are medallions made from meteorites that magically descended on Earth centuries back. Their fostering of justice and catalytic influence for righteous change makes fascinating reading.
