Mi chiamo Theo e sono un cittadino di Oasis, l'ultima regione ancora abitabile della Terra. Doveva essere un paradiso, un luogo in cui tutti si sentivano felici. La volgarità, la violenza, la pazzia e altre malattie sono solo un lontano ricordo e nemmeno la morte ci affligge ormai.Anch'io mi sentivo felice, ma adesso sono cambiato. Sento una voce nella mia testa che mi dice cose di cui un'amica immaginaria non dovrebbe essere al corrente. Si chiama Phoe ed è un parto del mio delirio.Oppure no?Nota: Questo libro contiene linguaggio esplicito che abbiamo considerato importante per il tema della censura all'interno del romanzo.

A cult takes over the government, but fails to steal the election, and when zombies arrive they are the only ones who seem to fall.
Following the award winning"AGENDA 2060 Bk One: The Future as It Happens"- described by critics as 'a laser-focussed, irresistible lampoon of woke culture'- comes the follow-up.After two years in space, Alexa Smythe has a message of hopefor the 'World on Fire' cultists who believe Earth is doomed and only she can save it. It's 2062 and the World Government's rules for maintaining authoritarian control are starting to unravel, needing urgent tightening. The elite have a master plan to finally wrest full control over the unsafe thoughts and speech of the world's population.Can Artificial Intelligence learn to control mankind's evil intentions- or will it decide to become the ruthless enslaver itself?In this alarmingly credible, thought-provoking future world would Elon Musk, Bill Gates or George Soros recognize themselves?This is the future as it happens, a world where Artificial Intelligence and Space Travel are about to change lives forever."This is a satirical look into the future tossing up some ideas about how issues like artificial intelligence, space technology and authoritarian transnational governance could play out based on current trends. Every speculative tech idea used in this story is already in development or evaluation in 2023.Artificial intelligence might be the thing that saves us from ourselves, rather than our dark nemesis. Who knows? The ultimate answers to life's origins and purpose may not be provided by science, but by faith in the core values that will ultimately ensure humanity's right to survive. Technology changes, humanity not so much! When writing predictive fiction of this type it is easy to take a dystopian view. I prefer to have fun - and assume that we will survive, despite the obvious fact that we will need to adapt to massive changes."- A.I. FABLER
When a baby is born, the doctor will say, "Congratulations, it's a girl!" or whatever your child is, quickly followed by, "Do you want the display?" The parents will cry, hug each other and the baby, and most of them will say, "Yes, of course! Of course, Doctor." And then they will wait anxiously, and hope that the baby's time doesn't run out while the display is being connected. Sometimes it does, of course. They give you your money back, then.About Time is a collection of short speculative and science-fiction stories that explore life and death in augmented bodies, memories, endings and the strange nature of belief.

"The Best" masterfully transports readers to a dystopian future where humanity struggles for survival. Angulo's vivid world-building and complex characters draw you in from the first page. This post-apocalyptic tale explores thought-provoking philosophical questions about the meaning of life while keeping you on the edge of your seat with intense action sequences. Expertly plotted with unexpected twists, "The Best" proves Angulo's talent for crafting an unforgettable story that will stay with you long after turning the final page.This science fiction work tries on one hand to make readers aware of the fragility of our species, delving into some possible environmental catastrophes that may happen due to the emission of polluting gases we are producing, the cause of climate change. In adverse climatic conditions our civilization as we know it can come crashing down.This is the story of a group of special forces soldiers, who stand out for being the best in their field. Through them we will see how the world will have changed in the near future and how only the strongest manage to survive.With this novel I would like to attract the attention of younger audiences, with the intention that they enjoy reading it while at the same time raising some questions in them. For me, science fiction basically consists of presenting theories that raise doubts about their possibility and thereby compel the reader to investigate further.I'm sure we wouldn't have made it to the moon if it weren't for books like From the Earth to the Moon. Not because the technology prevents us, nor because of a lack of capability, simply because: why go to the moon? It is possible that literature gives us that need to go further, to see and visit those worlds that books tell us about.I have worked for many years on renewable energy projects and have come to the following conclusions: we are not lacking solutions, what is missing is the interest and desire to carry them out. It is viable to change our energy model; it is possible to live better, with a higher quality of life while respecting our environment at the same time. We simply don't want to make that change; we probably are afraid to take that step or possibly it's just laziness. With my novels I only intend to make us think about it.Advance Praise for The Best:"Angulo's talent for vivid description makes the devastated landscape leap off the page." - Booklist"A must-read for science fiction fans.

Cyberpunk and solarpunk are, in many ways, two parts of the same story. Cyberpunk is all about people surviving and fighting back in high-tech, low-life dystopias. Solarpunk is a more utopian subgenre of cyberpunk that tells stories of communities surviving, adapting to, and solving the climate crisis in decidedly post-dystopian worlds. But the foundational aspect shared by both is people and communities fighting for a better future. That's what this game is about. Are you ready to tear down the corporate state and create a new world?
