Micro World
The world is on the brink of collapse due to explosive population growth. Resources are dwindling, spaces are shrinking, and living standards are declining. In the chaotic streets of Istanbul, Dr. Cemal Gürkan, a visionary scientist, has a groundbreaking solution-shrinking humans. But will this radical idea save humanity, or plunge it into a profound ethical and social crisis?
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.
The world is getting smaller, but the problems are growing...

The aliens kill every human they catch, or in rare cases, put trackers on them to discover their hidden villages. When Natalie is caught in an ambush, she is unexpectedly released. But there is no tracker. The Saursunes have an entirely different motive this time.

Run. Don't look back.
When Natalie is trapped in an alien ambush, she is unexpectedly released. The first human to ever be let go.
The Saursunes invaded centuries ago, and everyone knows that getting caught is certain death. Natalie is confused but grateful to be alive. As a porter, one of the few humans with the rare ability to teleport between special crystal formations, she must leave the safety of her desert village every day to help gather food.
When other villages increase their raids on the Saursunes' farms, the aliens retaliate by hunting down every human they can find - except Natalie's group. Instead of trying to kill her and those helping her, they bring them food instead.
Is it a trap? Or something else? Natalie isn't sure, but one thing is certain: the Saursunes aren't done with her yet.
