What is the process of writing a book? What exactly makes a story a story? What makes a story idea creative?
The most important question about this book--can a book tell the story of itself?
What if there was a story that redefined what a story was? What if the story you are now considering reading told the story of how it became a story?
Join Hunter Hiebert through the journey of writing a story that tells the tale of unfolding itself as it unfolds. Not even the author knows what's going to happen in the book for it hasn't happened yet to know.
If you're confused, that's good. It's time to get reading and shake that confusion from your bones.

Awakening - The Last Science #1
No one ever knows the whole story... Nestled deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, something is emerging. Kept in absolute secrecy, it seeps into a fading town, quietly shared from person to person. For Alden Bensen, a directionless high school graduate, this discovery could mean an escape from his empty existence. To Rachel DuValle, perpetually underestimated and dismissed by the world, magic represents a chance to become something much greater than herself. In the face of an unsuspecting world, their decisions shape the growth of a budding society discovering untold power. This potent force offers anyone the power to change humanity forever - or send it cascading into swift and total annihilation. ----- The Last Science is an ongoing science-fiction / low-fantasy web novel series.
