Based on the concept of Dante's INFERNO, GONE AWRY takes hell one step further, adding an extra level to deal with sinners from a modern, high-tech world.
After an injury, Les Smart is privileged to get a tour of the updated hellish facilities which, his guide tells him, he is likely to occupy on a permanent basis in the future. While Les is shocked at the punishments he sees meted out to users and abusers of modern technology, he can't help but feel that the punishments fit the crimes. He is also determined to avoid committing those crimes in the future.
While Bill Gates would probably not find this story amusing, I think most readers will. It also gives all-too-true insights into our modern world, and the heavy price we pay for technological convenience.
Lest you think it sounds depressing, I'll give a hint about the outcome: this story does have a happy ending. One which, in my opinion, we might do well to apply in reality.
