PHYSICS IS DISCOVERING OUR MOST CONSEQUENTIAL IDEAS AND NOT MANY KNOW ABOUT THEM.

This is a 2016 ink drawing by Suzanne Treister titled From Psychedelics via the Counterculture to the Possible Futures of Humanity. I have always loved this conceptual artist’s work and her ability to connect so many different threads together. In this colorful diagram she masterfully puts together various themes Transhumanism, Space Colonies, and Environmentalism. Her work has been exhibited at multiple venues, including the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and the ING Art Center in Brussels. Susan provides me with a visual of what goes on in my head.

I’m a writer that over the years has become intrigued with reading various books on theoretical physics.

It’s my belief that theoretical physicists like my friend Dr. Jack Sarfatti are now discovering information most people are unaware of that’s critical to humanity’s development. Jack is a brilliant, theatrical, controversial physicist whose life, according to fellow writer Meghan Carreau, appears to run through some of the strangest and most consequential corridors of the last seventy years — postwar gifted-child programs, Manhattan Project physics, the Bay Area quantum counterculture, intelligence-adjacent consciousness research, SRI remote-viewing networks, UAP propulsion theory, artificial intelligence, and now the theological question of whether machines can ever become conscious.

These days, I’m frequently involved in long email exchanges with Jack and other physicists as they talk back and forth about quantum entanglement, unified field of consciousness, superhuman abilities, parallel universes, and alternate realities. And — yes — Jack really is developing a working warp drive.

As I listen to them discuss these various topics, I lament the fact that their ideas have not been integrated into mainstream society in ways most of us are able to understand, and in ways which seem relevant to us as we live our everyday lives. They raise important questions, ones I also ask in my books.

Kurt Vonnegut once said: ‘I have been a sore headed occupant of a file drawer labeled “science fiction” … and I would like out, particularly since so many serious critics regularly mistake the drawer for a urinal.” Despite what Vonnegut observed, I’ve gladly chosen to put myself in the urinal of science fiction. Even though I write in this genre, I know at the core of my writing I want to ask the same questions all of us are looking for answers to — what does it mean to be human? Is the way we treat each other the most important thing about us?

My search for answers to these questions has led me to create speculative dramas based on cutting edge science in which humanistic events such as love, loss and self-discovery are also played out.

I’m not a believer in utopia, but I’m a strong cheer leader for my species because I understand the immense power of human ingenuity, creativity and love.

Book 1: The Burning Years

The Earth is burning. The elite have fled. And humanity’s only hope is a secret they were never meant to discover.

By the year 2060, decades of unchecked corporate greed and fossil fuel reliance have turned the surface of the Earth into an unlivable furnace. While the remnants of humanity struggle to survive in harsh, isolated underground communities, the global oligarchy has secured its own future.

Sophie, a brilliant scientist, discovers the horrifying truth: the government’s weather modification program isn’t designed to save the planet, but to control it. Worse, the elite have engineered trans-humans — beings capable of extended life — to ensure their eternal dominance over the ruins of Earth.

Unwilling to watch humanity burn, Sophie commits the ultimate act of treason. She dismantles the weather program and steals the trans-humans, fleeing into the scorching wastelands with the world’s most powerful forces hunting her down.

Meanwhile, Captain Rachel Chen commands the worldship Persephone, embarking on a desperate voyage to Proxima Centauri to find a new home for the human race. But as the stakes rise both underground and among the stars, one question remains: can humanity be saved, or is it already too late?

Book 2: Homo Deus

The search for limitless energy could save a dying Earth — or trigger its final destruction.

The battle for Earth’s future has evolved. With the planet’s surface still devastated by climate collapse, the remnants of humanity are desperate for a solution. The answer may lie in a source of power that defies modern physics, hidden in the echoes of ancient civilizations.

Zid is not entirely human. A clone with genetic ties to the ancient Sumerian gods, he observes humanity’s catastrophic flaws with detached honesty. But when he is drawn into the hunt for a lost, mythic energy source, his unique nature makes him both the ultimate weapon and the ultimate target.

As factions clash over the promise of limitless power, Zid must navigate a treacherous landscape of extraterrestrial contact, political betrayal, and ancient secrets. The global oligarchy will stop at nothing to control the energy, while a fragile resistance fights to democratize it.

To survive, Zid must confront the truth of his own origins and decide whether humanity — a species that willingly destroyed its own home — is truly worth saving.

Book 3: Zero-Point Dreams

Limitless power. Parallel realities. A tech billionaire who wants it all.

The quest for clean, infinite energy has moved beyond the boundaries of Earth. Zid, the cloned Anunnaki, embarks on a dangerous interplanetary journey to Nibiru and the rings of Saturn, searching for the key to scalar and zero-point energy — the theoretical power source that could finally restore humanity’s home.

But Zid is not the only one hunting for the ultimate prize.

Walton James, the ruthless and spoiled heir to an oligarchic empire, is determined to control the zero-point technology for his own gain. Armed with vast wealth and a total disregard for human life, Walton counters Zid at every turn, escalating their conflict from a corporate race into a battle for survival across the solar system.

As Nikola Tesla’s most radical theories become terrifyingly real, Zid must unlock the secrets of the universe’s hidden energies before Walton can weaponize them. In a high-stakes game of physics, power, and parallel dimensions, the winner will control the future. The loser will be erased from existence.

Book 4: The Creators (to be published in 2027)

Earth has been quarantined by the galaxy. Now, humanity must fight to break free.

Zid has seen the truth. After witnessing the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima through the eyes of the Galactic Federation, he understands why Earth was quarantined. To the Federation, humanity is a savage, unevolved species that tore a hole in the fabric of the universe.

But the Federation has secrets of its own — including decades of unauthorized human abductions.

Back on Earth, the fight for survival has fractured. In the sustainable, techno-organic country of AlCan, Gabriel and Sophia lead a fragile new society. But when the US government launches a brutal war to claim AlCan’s territory, tragedy strikes, leaving the resistance shattered.

As Walton James uses parallel dimensions to enact a vicious revenge, a new generation steps forward. Deep beneath the melted, tropical ice of Antarctica, an ancient highway of portals is discovered — pathways that lead outside the universe itself.

When Zid steps through, he comes face-to-face with the Creators. But the answers he finds only raise more terrifying questions, and the Federation’s ultimate plan for humanity’s genetic future is finally revealed.

Book 5: My Quantum Life (to be published in 2027)

Here is where the story started with Sophie’s (wisdom) mother Mehr (“sun,” “love,” “affection,” or “kindness,” and a name that shares historical roots with Mithra, the ancient Indo-Iranian divinity of light and oaths).

In My Quantum Life Mehr travels through multiple dimensions to discover that time rather than being the fundamental ticking clock of the universe, linear time (the explicate flow) unfolds out of a fundamentally timeless or enfolded implicate order. With her guide Raphael and her djinn Marida she is able to access the past, present and future to discover profound truths.

As a gift you’ll get a short story called Choices. This short story is based on an insight of the future that came to me twelve years ago. It is explained in the fifth book and gave me the idea for my five-book series.

I suddenly understood that reality was layered — interconnected. Time and space were not fixed. This new information I’d received led me down the path of scientific research.

Physics, chemistry and biology are not subjects I’d studied in the past, however they’re the foundation on which many of the ideas advanced in the five book series are built.
