Futurism Stories

The year is 2316, and the intellectual elite have fled the corporate governments on Earth for the safety, abundance and promised immortality of the Solar Council of Artificial Intelligence in space. Huge asteroid colonies have formed, where these refugees work to support the terraforming of Mars. Everyone of them is granted access to retirement after 15 years of work; retirement into stasis, awaiting their future re-settlement on a green and blue Mars. On Mefitis colony, tensions are brewing as colonists seek to split from the SCAI and forge a new path, a path where AI is slave and human is master. For Alpha Praetan and his friend Lily, two 12 year old creche-students on Mefitis, the only thing that matters is getting their Implants. The golden neural lace that will enable them to discover a universe of knowledge and science. As their day approaches, they find that someone or something has different plans.

The year is 2045, and there are only a few thousand people left on Earth. Nuclear war has decimated the world’s population and left the Earth too dangerous to live on, and everyone is relocating to a newly-inhabitable Mars. Except for Eva, and her friend Kylie. Eva refuses to leave until she finds her childhood best friend Xander - but he’s not the same anymore.

The ZZO departs and continues Northeast. Passing by Mao in Chad, they stop to get some Chinese bringto. Blue and White Zinas deliver punishment to Black Zinas for being defeated. Akia also tries out a vacuum cleaner, but it is unexpectedly powerful...

The year 2035 - You have a sole purpose in life bound up in the triad of materialism - work, success, and status. Life is crafted and holds a facade of normality. It is cushioned and shrouded with a fake representation of family, love, and pleasure. Everyone follows the rhythm, the system, the tap, the tick, that provides them security and peace. It disturbs you - when a person - a man, wearing a bright purple shirt - is out of rhythm with the ticking of the Clocks.

But the discovery triggers a war between the Tech Cities, who see magic as dangerous, and the Mystic Tribes, who believe technology has gone too far. With the help of Ife, a warrior from a hidden magical lineage, and Zubairu, a rogue AI with its own consciousness, Tari must uncover the truth behind the Celestial Oath before a catastrophic war destroys both magic and technology forever.

Ivan, a mysterious collector of paper books, wanders around the crooked and unappealing streets of the digital era inside a futuristic dystopia towards a perplexing inn occupied and ran by peculiar types: Marta Di Tonalle, a woman able to do anything for some spare change, and receptionist Jason, who is very unkind despite his job. After a calm first night, the book collector sees himself entangled into a bizarre revenge plot weaved by one of the establishment's former employees. A cyberpunk scenery, drama, pinches of sarcasm and plenty of action in a not-too-optimistic future are the ingredients making up the first short story in the tales of Ivan, the book collector.

"To save the throne, he lost her. To save his life, she forgot who she was." Lumina awakened in Enyris, a world of crystal domes and absolute perfection. She is the Empress, and by her side stands Sovereign Ezer, the man who vows to protect her from a forgotten past. But beneath the pearlescent glow of this paradise, something pulses in the shadows. As she tries to navigate her new life, echoes from other places begin to emerge. Beneath the perfection lies ZØNE, the cyberpunk underworld where chaos reigns; and the Stellar Abyss, a horizon of bioluminescence beyond the domes of Enyris, where many of the answers about her true identity seem to be buried. Lumina begins to realize that every returning fragment of memory brings a heavy price: understanding what happened before the blackout. She must discover if the world around her is a gift of love or a reconstruction built to hide a truth she isn't yet ready to face. Because in a galaxy of secrets, a story about love might be the most powerful thing in all of Aetherys.

Welcome to my 5th poetry collection, If This is The Edge, What's After It. This is probably my most philosophical collection yet, as I try to explore everything from light and darkness, the creative process itself, death, hope and more. The edge in the title represents, at least to me, the unknown, and both literally new areas in my poetry and the questions about life we don't know the answer to yet. And well, the only way to get the answers is to jump over and see what's on the other side. Thanks for reading, these were written all during the second half of 2020. The poems are: 1. Seaside 2. A Modern Ecstasy 3. Eternal Light 4. Kibou (Hope) 5. Perfect Imperfection (The Edge Cases) 6. Carry On/The Cliff 7. Picking Up The Pieces/Ludens 8. The Limits/Hanatarash 9. Anthoine's Song (A Tribute to Anthoine Hubert) 10. Running Towards The Sun

ATARAXIA is the story of two folx meeting in the far future. One itinerant, one sedentary. One an artist and creator, the other an experiencer and annotator. Their intertwining journeys coalesce for a quiet power like two parallel lines meeting in the distance.
