Versality
Rollo Carpenter
Near future science fiction, in the metaverse
Few survived the Destruction. Tech did, and the life of 2072 is experienced in non.life. Remotely suspended in their nanocradles, dispersed people around the globe connect in the metaverse, building a future, embodied in bots, and imagining... together.
Virtual lovers Rai and Art, biologist and cosmologist, create, theorise and attempt to make lives real, in a time of unwanted new tensions... while Xeen blips fifty times a day, reviewing all the best non.life spaces.
Nola, ex-Versality CEO, detects a dark, near-Pluto-scale interstellar object, dangerously heading straight into the Solar System. It does not conform to known laws of physics, inducing world-changing technological accelerations and connections.
A fast-paced, hemidemisemi-humorous, invention-laden, inter-generational, time-shifting tale of dystopia determinedly heading for unexpectedly universal utopia.
