An idea for a science fiction novel(s)

From my beloved late husband, Timothy Balraj (note he did not work on any of these ideas after 2014):

 

 

An Online Detective science fiction novel

         Detective lives in future New York City. No driver-driven cars below some street….USA has de facto split between red and blue states; detective needs a guide to go into a red state (he changes cars at border to avoid drawing attention etc). (Note this was not worked on after 2014.)…Detective's personality is interesting, not predictable, sometimes more like a computer because he has a computer interface with hard-wiring – a dangerous procedure, which is illegal in USA but detective able to have it done because origin is in India or Africa or other less regulated area….Could be series.
