“Breaking Bad meets X-Men”
Mycrinin is a powerful drug. It could change society forever. Governments want to control it, corporations want to sell it, rebels want to give it to the world, while others wish it had never been found. Each side will have to make their move. And the winner will decide the fate of our species.
Cormac Doherty is a frustrated bioengineer uniquely placed at the centre of the unfolding crisis. He must choose between changing the system from the inside or joining the underground revolution. Or neither. Or both. Cormac can be a pain in the arse like that.
Does society have what it takes to use mycrinin responsibly? Or will we just do what we always do with a fancy new toy: play with it until someone loses an eye? When a mysterious group of biohackers sets the clock ticking, amid rumours of side effects and sex-fuelled communes, Cormac realises he’s in this whether he likes it or not. But what can he do before the country tears itself apart?

Hey Ma is my debut novel. It takes us through a winter in my adopted hometown of Belfast, N. Ireland, tracing the first months of the next phase of human existence.
I lean on decades of experience in innovation and ethics to tell stories that examine the biggest questions of our relationship with technology. You are invited on an epic journey. It starts in the familiar world of today, and follows the lives of regular people, exploring how their choices might cause our future to unfold in wildly unexpected ways.
