This is my newest piece, inspired by some amazing podcasts and novels I got into about two years ago. The main podcast being StarTripper!! Seriously you guys, if you love space as much as I do, you're gonna want to check this one out. I use Spotify for my podcasting. Another one of my inspirations is this amazing novel series that starts with the book Fortuna. It's absolutely fantastic and hooks you in immediately! So be sure to check that out too :) Anywho, this is a story about a young man named Zachary Hines, better known to his listeners as Z. This story takes the form of a podcast while also being third person at times, telling the tales of Z's travels through an impossible solar system. While there will be absolutely nothing of sexual nature in this story, I did mark it mature as I will be using some graphic language. I hope you all enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it. And remember, safe travels and have a very pleasant evening!

Hi there, I'm JD, a 31-year-old Venezuelan-Spanish Economist living in Barcelona with my Russian (pro-peace) wife Anna and our two kittens; we met in Italy eight years ago, and almost since then we have been working on this project. During our careers we've worked with people from South America to Japan, from Australia to Canada, from South Africa to Norway, the characters in the novel are based on people I was lucky enough to meet along the way who left me with invaluable lessons which we feel the duty and privilege of sharing with our fellow humans, hopefully sharing what cosmologists call "Space Bias". There are seven main protagonists each one with their own chapter - which can be read in whichever order you prefer, - two of them in present tense and the rest in past, it's all part of the story. They all have mixed backgrounds such as a Japanese father and a Taiwanese mother, a survivor of the Rwanda massacre, a Colombian with Lebanese and Portuguese ancestry, a Danish whose mother is German, a Jewish lady married to a Muslim man she met in Jerusalem, an Anglo-Indian guy inspired in a way in Orwell - character name is Arthur such as Orwell's real name, - and last but definitely not least a Turkish Muslim bisexual woman for which a Lebanese friend for work is providing help; my friend is working on her Ph.D. on gender inequality in politics, especially in countries with religious civil wars that have moved from the streets to parliament. The story's Universe - 7 trillion light-years, approximately 78 times the size of our observable universe and 252 times the size of a Hubble sphere - provides more than enough civilizations to present dystopias that can serve as warnings for the future - ideally in the style of 1984, A Brave New World, or Fahrenheit 451, - as well as utopias where we find A.E.I - Artificial Emotional Intelligence - along with futuristic ways of understanding childhood, education, and life itself.
