More about this project:

This novel is originally intended for comics, like that of Marvel’s, and/or motion picture production. That is indeed a long way ahead, so I thought this crowdfund using crypto, and eventually publishing it over here in this new world of blockchain, will make the required noise to get enough attention. May it be the first movie publicly played in theaters of the metaverse.

Also, it is worth noting that this novel is part one of a sequel.

The Novel:

Picture distant starlight travels to our solar system in some thousand light-years, this means a beam of light left its origin thousands of years ago; In other words, a sparkle you stare at right now in the sky is probably a faded star in history. Whenever we look up afar in space, we are merely looking back at the past. Thus, our future expeditions to other systems are just traveling back through time.

When I started writing this novel, I was not sure if an adventure through space would it be, or time, or both. Not even envisaging whether an attempted warning was it, or just pure anticipation, based more on given facts and less on intuition.

A more of a paradox it was!

“With the world we know coming to an end, a single trip might save humanity.”

The novel takes us in a journey between two worlds, completely different, far apart, yet inextricably intertwined.

Bot, a loner mediocre, was set on a scientific mission from his home planet, Proxima-b, to explore the virgin planet, Earth, and confirm its suitability to be inhabited by humans. Bound in secrecy, to give the Proximals an advantage above their rivals, the Centaurians, Bot took off to his 9 months journey in Earthlings' calendar to reach the 4.2 light years away planet, in an unprecedented attempt, or so him and his people thought.That journey was precedented by another that took place a few millennia before, but from the destination itself.

But,What pushed him to travel to Earth?Who was there with him and why?And most importantly, when ?!

Our future is indiscernible, their past is a myth.

How it works?

The initial manuscript excerpt will exist on Mirror, publicly accessible to all. It will be minted as an NFT. Supporters retain a stake in both the manuscript excerpt and full manuscript NFTs. Any time these NFTs are sold, a percentage goes back to the token holders, who can then redeem them for a proportional share of ETH in the shared pool. The first edition book is minted as an NFT from the crowdfund, the future value of which routes back to the crowdfund and therefore the supporters. Supporters will forever be linked to the crowdfund as patrons that made this project possible.
