The nature of evolution is to move slowly. Until it doesn't.

If humanity approached an evolutionary crisis…

Would we know it?

Bendik Texier is a once-in-a-millennia genius. He does. He recognizes quantum computing will be the catalyst. More, he knows there are only three potential outcomes for homo-sapiens: evolution, enslavement, or destruction.

Bendik has an idea that will trigger rapid evolution. His globe-spanning marvel of engineering will change how humanity lives. Now, he only needs to train a couple hundred million people to use it without tipping off the powers that be. How does someone do that?

His son, Austin, unknowingly has a solution. An immersive game world indistinguishable from the real world, where playing can heal trauma and activate advanced, dormant DNA.

Bendik funds his idea, and planet Kuora is soon born. When Austin and friends start their beta test, Kuora captivates them. It can work.Intentional evolution may save humanity. If so, the implications will ripple across an unseen universe.

Chapters posted here are the 2nd & 3rd Books in the Ascendant Earth Chronicles. They predominantly feature Austin's adventures in Kuora, althougth there are real world chapters.

The first book, which includes a lot more hard sci-fi elements, can be found here.
