Supernova 2121

by Andrew Hoskins

This book tells the story of the future of humanity, and the pitfalls that lay ahead as we advance technologically. The narrative describes how the survival of the human race depends on its interplay with other civilizations. Intertwined in the story also lays a solution to two of the greatest mysteries of current science, the presence of what is known as dark matter and dark energy. It is the understanding of these mysteries that gives Earth an enormous technological advantage. As a result, the consequences of human actions will have a far greater impact on the Galaxy and possibly the Universe as a whole. Earth is pitched against human folly and the greatest evil in the Universe. The ironic twists and turns are intriguing and ultimately they lead to the potential destruction of not only the Earth but also the Galaxy.

About the author

Andrew is a software engineer and author whose mission is to live in a society that is empathetic and connected. That mission has threaded through his past work at Facebook, as well as his current work at Oculus VR and his book, Amnesium.

He wrote Amnesium, in part, as a reaction the heavily partisan and politicized national discourse in America today. He drew up several interesting, far-flung characters who would be ideologically opposed, gave them a gripping situation that brought them together, and saw what happened.

Virtual Reality also has the potential to bring far-flung people together in deep, surprising ways. Enabling people to have consistently good experiences with strangers online, and in some cases form lasting connections with them, is one of the biggest challenges facing the VR industry. He’s excited to be pursuing this goal at Oculus VR.

He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area, where he hones his storytelling skills playing pen-and-paper role-playing games. You can follow him at www.facebook.com/AndrewHoskinsAuthor.
