What if you suddenly woke up in a strange, Utopian world 300 years into the future… and you slowly came to the realization that you were the one that created it?
When a 40-year-old recovering alcoholic IT professional named Alex awakens in the chiseled body of a handsome 30-year-old man three centuries into the future, he immediately discovers two things… One, apparently time travel is really possible and Two, this incredibly advanced future civilization is vastly different from the old one.
In this vibrant utopia with no countries, no money, and no war, every job is appreciated and the values of compassion and interconnectedness reign supreme. As Alex immerses himself in this advanced society, he is amazed to discover that values such as mindfulness and mutual respect shape daily life. With no institutions to enforce order, the people thrive in a culture that celebrates each individual's contribution.
But as Alex unravels the threads of this extraordinary world, he uncovers a shocking truth - he is the unknowing author of the governing book that shaped this society. Faced with this revelation, he must confront his own prejudices and the limitations of his current life. Embracing new experiences, including the open and revered nature of intimacy in this future society, he learns to shed the fears that have held him back.
The Society is an immersive science fiction / fantasy thriller, which features stunningly vivid world-building, complex character development and imaginative futuristic AI technologies. Join Alex on this thought-provoking journey, where the future holds the key to transforming the present, and one man’s quest for understanding can ripple through time, illuminating the path to a brighter, more humane existence. The Society Series continues in Volume 2 - The Dalai Lama and the Multiverse.
Will Alex succeed in reshaping his Utopian society, or will the echoes of the past drown out the promise of tomorrow?
“What makes this novel stand out is its intricate world-building. The futuristic society is both imaginative and eerily plausible, with technology, surveillance, and hierarchy playing central roles in every character’s life. The protagonist's journey—from ignorance to awareness, from compliance to defiance—is gripping and emotionally resonant.” – Amazon Review
Genre: FICTION / Science Fiction / Time Travel"The Society: 300 Years from now" presents an interesting vision of a utopian future that is quite thought-provoking. The time-travel premise brings protagonist Alex face-to-face with a world where conventional pillars of society have been replaced by community-focused values and mutual respect. What's most interesting is its bold reimagining of human potential when freed from current societal constraints. While the writing occasionally struggles with clarity, the core concepts about environmental restoration, AI integration, and communal living create a compelling philosophical playground. Worth checking out if you're looking for a compelling imagining of one potential future for mankind.
Spring had fully awakened the world. Everything was green. I noticed something curious - There were no highways. Almost no roads at all.
Instead, there were vast fields-crops of corn, wheat, sunflowers, and other plants stretching toward the horizon. I spotted massive herds of cattle grazing freely.
Vlad lit a cigarette and exhaled slowly before speaking.
- As I told you, I’m an anthropologist and historian. I’ve focused primarily on the last 500 years of history, studying your era from scratch.
He paused.
- What do you think about democracy?
I smirked.
- If democracy isn’t accompanied by a certain level of education, it turns into the tyranny of the majority.
Vlad nodded.
- Do you think that’s happening in your time?
- Mostly, yes. And when I say "education," I don’t just mean academic studies. I mean social education. Understanding human nature.
- You’re correct, from your perspective and with the information you have. But there’s another reality-one that’s carefully hidden.
He took a drag of his cigarette.
- In your world, 1% of the population controls more wealth than the other 99% combined. Do you believe that the 1% is actually led by the majority?
- No, I admitted.
- Exactly. Now, here’s what you need to understand - the wealth of the 1% has far exceeded the total monetized value of all physical assets and goods on Earth.
I exhaled.
- Inflation.
