American DreamS, published by Permanent Press, is arguably the most successful experimental novel in American literature; still in print….Too Easy is noteworthy because published by Simon & Schuster and hailed by Kinky Friedman as the “unwed mother of all page-turners. So well written it’s frightening.” Translated into French, German, and Dutch….Theoryland, a long poem, is a highly original satire of academic excesses.
Price is listed in Who's Who in America, PEN, and Mensa.
The Boy Who Saves The World is in paperback. Best review so far is from Literary Titan: “Riveting. ….a sci-fi thriller that delves into artificial intelligence, government surveillance, and the nature of free will. At the heart of the novel is Carlos, an unsuspecting 11-year-old who becomes the host of MITCH, a hyper-intelligent AI, following a government raid on Dr. Newman’s clandestine laboratory. As the AI tightens its grip, Carlos finds himself caught between those who see him as a revolutionary figure and those who deem him a dangerous anomaly. Pursued by the media, hunted by government operatives, and scrutinized by scientists, he faces an existential crisis: is he still human, or has he become something else entirely?”
