FICTION in ACTION
Since facts haven’t worked very well, let’s shift to story-telling to save our world.
Two Types of Fiction
Your imagination can bring new vision to one of three stories – you’ll receive whichever free eBook you choose to illustrate, compose music for its Audiobook or film soundtrack, and/or write further stories or essays (fiction or non-fiction) to extend the theme.
First category – sci-fi satire about climate change, blue and green carbon – saving life on land and in our ocean

What would Thomas More, author in 1516 of the best-selling book UTOPIA (a hoax) do if he were cloned and given the chance to live again in the 21st century? Thomas More is cloned as Tom Evermore, who deceives the public via an alien conspiracy, code-named SQUID [Security Questions: Unidentified Intrusions & Disappearances] using techno-wizardry to steal secrets from our ocean. Like his twin, Thomas More, it’s deceit for a good cause. This story engages fake news, digital twins, immersive entertainment, AR, VR, drones, drugs, facial recognition, new foods, quantified self-monitors, robotics, self-driving cars, surveillance, and inventions not yet conceived. Inspired by The Minority Report, SQUID aims to show the peril and promise of future technology.
Second category – historical fiction:
