Back in 2012, pseudoscience gurus, mistakenly, again,
combined the supposedly Mayan prophecy and Nibiru, a legend of ancient Babylon,
creating the infamous so-called "Apocalypse of 2012”.
Obviously, none of that happened.
But, in my innate human curiosity and my
passion for ancient history, impelled me to learn more about the topic and I
came to the conclusion that this Babylonian legend, adapted to our time with the
current scientific theories about the supposed "Planet-X" was
overlooked in literature, and I realized that this was a good chance to write a
novel, long, indeed, but also very entertaining.
Set in the not too distant future, my novel
could be classified, at first glance, as a Sci-Fi catastrophe classic, but it
goes further:
• I’ve tried to respect strictly the scientific
precepts, both the current technology and also what we’ll be likely to see in
the near future, so I’d better consider my novel as "Scientific Fiction”,
always with a certain degree of imagination on the part of the reader and
fantasy, on the verge (and even surpassing) of the limits of astrophysics.
• In fact, one of the main subjects of my novel
is the so called "Technological Millenarism" or the competition
between humans and extremely intelligent, and, moreover, empathetic robots.
• My prediction of the future society is rich
and elaborate, various aspects are dealt with: economic, political, social,
medical, psychological, religious, ecological, cultural, of course, scientific
... so I think it goes beyond the classical apocalyptic novels; Dystopia?
Utopia? Ecotopia? You can reach your own conclusions; in any case, perfectly
possible.
• But, far from being just another boring thick
book, it incorporates lots of exciting action, suspense, romance, even flashes
of humor and eroticism... if I may, it's a very "sexy" novel.
Easy to read, in my humble opinion, the last
and surprising chapters leave the reader wanting more.
I hope, I wish, you enjoy it.
