<p> Nova Interitus begins in 2063. The town and much of the nation are in disarray years before the Great Event. Nova is a story about survival, power structures, the turning of relationships, and networks between people and the systems to which they belong. It's about A.I. blockchain potential for human betterment versus our detriment. It's about the question of whether or not we need to be saved from ourselves, and by who or what? The Great Event at the end of chapter one might be what saves us. </p> <p> The epilogue takes place in 2517. This scene is fully sketched and the full arc of the novel is set. I expect to finish Nova Interitus by summer of 2023. </p> <p> This all comes from a dream I had back in 2005, when I watched the sun explode atop a small mountain. That dream was profound and I've always remembered it. I wrote some notes about it many years ago. There were two men with guns pointed at me when it happened. Recently, I thought about writing a short story to document this vision and memorialize it once and for all. When I sat down to write, I had to ask myself some questions. </p> <p> The first question I had to ask was, "why were they chasing him, or me, or whoever that was?" And with that single prompt, a flood of this future world came pouring in. The muse brought me a heavy storm— heavier than the one helping Steve fool the hunters in section one. </p> <p> This is basically a beta test with chapters and drafts to get some feedback and see if there's readership for this narrative. I am also posting the completed work on Substack. </p>

<p> In 2063, the town and much of the nation are in disarray years before the Great Event. The five families have created a blockchain based water distribution system for the locals. This secret is hidden from the contractors, and likewise from their bosses at the Global Water Commission. In the mid-2040's, after the state secessions of Idaho, Montana, and Texas, the Global United National Council of Water Commissioners moved in with their network of contractors. They called it "the integration." The GUNCWC contractors integrated with municipal water departments, using their organized network to invade like parasites on local services. It all coincided with the 29th Amendments to the United States Constitution (which quickly led to the 30th and 31st.) This became referred to it as the Regional Trident Plan. </p> <p> Nova is a story about survival, power structures, the turning of relationships, and the networking between people and the systems to which they belong. It's about A.I. blockchain potential, and the potential for human betterment versus our detriment. It's about the question of whether or not we need to be saved from ourselves, and by who or what? The Great Event at the end of the first chapter might just be what actually saves us. </p> <p> The epilogue will take place in 2517. This scene is fully sketched and the full arc of the novel is set. I expect to finish Nova Interitus by summer of 2023. </p> <p> This story is not something I planned to write, but it all came to in a dream and I haven't been able to stop writing it. This Royal Road posting is basically a beta test with chapters and drafts to get some feedback and see if there's any readership for this narrative. I will be posting the complete edited work on Substack. </p>
