Thanks for keeping us updated but first and foremost, thanks for engaging us, in a is sci-fi book that is somehow different from others which uses robots, High-Tec and so on and so forth. In addition, I like your sense of humor and the fact that you produced the book not to instruct or teach but just to entertain the readers :D . Thanks for your great work.

I generally avoid dystopian stories but your explanation made me interested in reading the book. And who would believe sci-fic can work even without aliens :D :lol: :lol2:

Sci-fi just requires technology that doesn't exist now or didn't exist at the time of writing. The Stepford Wives is classed as sci-fi ;)

I loathe dystopian stories as well :D The only thing that irritates me faster than robots/AI is a book that says, "The future's going to be a terrible place to live!" I don't believe that's true, and I've no interest in writing it, which is why Project Tau and the other books in the series are 100% non-dystopian :P People in my books are normal; they do grocery shopping, they live and watch movies just like we do. They just do it a long time after we're doing it ;) I write sci-fi realism :P

I think there's also an unfortunate trend for people to assume that "bad things happening to MC in future" = "yet another dystopian setting. Yawn." The universe has to suck for everyone, not just a select few characters, for a work to be classed as dystopian :D

Wow, finally a writer who cares about the logistics should this be made a movie. Folks, the capacity to portray this as realistic as possible should be equivalent to logistics and costs behind it. I totally understand. Thanks for the background!
Happy reading,
Gelli xoxo

Wondeful insights into how this marvel was born. You really are one of the few authors that is optmistic about the future. From what I gather from the information you have given you would not change the plot and rely on AI or robotics to tell your story even if incorporating these into a movie is cheaper these days. Keep churning out non-cliche sci-fi books they are a blessing.

I always wondered where the inspiration comes from, and now I get it. Mostly, I like the different turn and perspective of the author in this project. It seemed he considered the most basic elements before writing and a lot of planning was done too.

It's always nice to find and learn the motivation behind a book. I'm glad to know that the author wanted to craft a science fiction novel that focuses on the human and emotional part rather than the world-building. Thank you for sharing your inspiration, author!
