As scientists across Turkey merge the rich cultural heritage of Anatolia with science to bring this idea to life, they build a miniature world. Newly established small cities, evolving monetary systems, and the widening gap between rich and poor raise major questions about humanity's new order. Is life truly easier in this shrunken world, or do unexpected threats and challenges lie ahead? Micro World is not only the story of a physically shrunken humanity but also an epic tale of how society, culture, and values are tested, with Turkish culture emerging as a unifying force in this new order. Through the intertwined themes of technology, ethics, power struggles, and solidarity, this novel lays bare the colossal challenges humanity faces even as it shrinks.

Grand Theft Spaceman by bcoulson84
4 parts Ongoing
In the FAR-FLUNG FUTURE OF THE 64th CENTURY, the free use of SPACE has been OUTLAWED! It has been many years since the GREAT SPACE WAR between the COMMONWEALTH OF SYSTEMS and the COSMIC STAR EMPIRE ended in a tenuous ceasefire, with the EMPIRE given complete authority over regulating all space travel in the galaxy. Now, the EMPIRE has tightened its grip, effectively banning any space travel outright for all but the most privileged of the EMPIRE's citizens. No more SPACE EXPLORING, no more SPACE MINING, no more SPACE PIRACY, and most of all... no more FLIPPIN' SWEET SPACE BATTLES! How bogus is that? But even the ironclad laws of a monolithic, galaxy-spanning empire cannot stop a budding rebellion that believes SPACE IS FOR EVERYONE, nor are they any match for the long-prophesized return of the enigmatic SPACE MASTER. He is the SPACEMAN, and this is his SPACE STORY...
