The colonization of Mars resulted in a catastrophic failure. With an ever increasing population and the question of global changes, one man stumbles across something that could be the salvation of the human race. Could this, in fact, be the key to the exploding future of mankind? Scorned by the reality of corporate indifference, Federico never imagined he would dream again. Yet when a new opportunity is offered to him, he soon finds himself a leading figure on the Space Initiative, a small group of adventurers, set on realizing the full potential of mankind and allowing humanity to tap into unlimited resources and stretch across the universe. As expansion reaches further and further into the final frontier, millions evacuate Earth for life in a utopia absent of inequality, exploitation, and cruelty. When new factions arise, the burning question is whether or not Earth will even survive. When tensions get out of control and billions are put at risk, the fate of both Earth and humanity will be decided.

Very thought-provoking book! Moreso than many scifi novels, I think this book is more about sharing and promoting a vision for the future, one of utopia triumphing over dystopia, than about selling copies of the book to the consuming public. To be sure, the book might get more traction/readership with more/better character development, and a different pacing that "goes deeper" into each period of time it explores. It really could've been a series of connected novels, that return to familiar characters, exploring the long lifespan vs short memory concept a little more thoroughly. There are many stories packed in here that could've been told in more detail.
But credit where it is due... using characters, dialogue, and plotlines, even if they feel under-developed, to generate interest in the author's vision, was brilliant. It certainly provides far more readership than simply "here's my white paper on how to colonize space and assure a long-term future for humanity." I thank the author for taking the time, and embedding the background material, to make it work so well! I suspect it is not a spoiler to state here that the book falls very explicitly on the "live in space" side of the debate over HOW to be a functional space-faring species (as opposed to colonizing/terraforming planets and moons and continually climbing in and out of their gravity wells). One might say it favors Bezos over Musk in that sense? In keeping with my characterization of it as a "novelized position paper," that "space habitat" position is articulated, defended, and documented very well (whether you agree with it or not).
What the book does NOT do, and this is my biggest criticism, is defend the fundamental need to move humanity off the planet in the first place (although this particular plotline makes it very fortuitous that we did)! One should at least wonder, I think, whether putting a similar amount of vision, funding, technology, etc. into living civilly and sustainably as a human race on Planet Earth might actually be the optimal solution? I think there are compelling arguments on either side of the question and it could've been addressed moreso than it was. It is a question Kim Stanley Robinson explored very compellingly near the end of his novel Aurora, after having novelized the terraforming of Mars in previous works (which worked! but KSR himself later recanted on the ease at which it was accomplished in the books), and after having explored the difficult care and feeding of generation ships and collaborative self-government, in addition to colonizing an unknown planet, throughout the bulk of his Aurora book. Obviously this was not the story our K3+ author wanted to write, but had he given it a little bit of attention, I might find more standing in debating this myself with environmentalist friends (and with the environmentalist part of my own psyche)!
Some smaller criticisms are what I would consider minor insensitivities (but others might not consider them minor). One is with regard to "colonization" as a presumptive right-- a human manifest destiny that some might consider archaic and ill-advised, even apart from our responsibility to the biota of our home planet. And I also perceived (maybe it's just me) some probably-unintended objectification of female characters, moreso than the male characters. Such insensitivities are probably a greater risk in "selling one's idea" to as many thoughtful people as possible, than in "selling one's story" to masses of consumers, many of whom find such sensitivities unnecessary or silly. All that said [minor spoiler ahead], I thought the author's sensitivity, and acknowledgement of moral ambiguity, around how to handle first contact with another sentient/civilized species, less advanced than us, to be VERY interesting and carefully-considered. It may horrify some, elicit eye rolls from others, but hopefully inspires some deep thinking, as does the entire work.

Science Fiction with a plus
K3+ is a Science Fiction story about the colonization of different stars across the universe. Federico is the main character of this fiction; he is a dreamer, a brave person that is full of hope and that will do whatever it takes to fulfill his objectives.
The plot is super interesting, with terms that are specific (related to the universe and to travelling outside the Earth) but at the same time well-explained, which allows any amateur to understand the topic.
What I loved about this book is that the author, called Erasmo Acosta, inserted links that readers can visit while reading, and that helps to a better understanding of the story. K3+ is an interactive book for adults and teenagers; it’s fun, it’s complete, it’s worthy.
I believe that with this fantastic idea of making the story an interactive one, Acosta is inviting anyone (not just fiction lovers) to read this tale.
I give this reader five stars out of five because I think it is original and entertaining.

As a space obsessed 60s kid I've given up a realistic space centric future for humanity. This book has rekindled a spark of hope. A lot of things need to go right but the picture that is painted is possible.
The story is well written with the required technical milestones obtainable in realistic time frames. My only technical quibble was the FTL communication tying the society together was not subject to time dilation between vessels moving at large percentages of light speed.
I enjoyed the personalities of the main character and supporting characters. The antagonists were extreme, but believable.
The ethical dilemma raised in how to best handle meeting another intelligent species was fascinating.
An interesting follow up book could be written about how a human society with a billion years of unfettered expansion handles having no new stars available. Reading this book was a positive experience.

If you are into interstellar travel and how Humanity might get there, then this is was a great book.

A great reading to enjoy on your comfortable sofa
When things go wrong, there is always another plan to put into practice. This happens in “K3+”, a sci-fi book written by Erasmo Acosta. In this story everything is possible, this is why I enjoyed getting into this book.
After the failure of conquering Mars, people must sort for another solution due to overpopulation. Federico turns out to be the one who must take the initiative to find another place to live outside the earth and recruit other human-beings. Are they going to succeed?
It is definitely an innovative novel with a thought-provoking plot. I mean, the idea of running out of space and natural resources is an important issue these days. Not only the characters are well-described but also the settings. The writing style helped me to feel inside this chaotic world. I really enjoyed it. Besides, in this book there are hyperlinks which help readers to find unknown words. They were very useful to me. I thoroughly recommend this novel to avid readers of the genre.

K3+ is a fantastic science fiction book! I really enjoyed reading it. The author, Erasmo Acosta, used all his knowledge about science and futurism to create a very gripping story.
The plot of this book focuses on the search of new worlds in the universe since population on Earth increases more and more and climate change gets worse day after day making the planet earth no longer a safe place for humanity. Federico, the main character of this story, will be the one in charge of finding a new place to live. He leads a small group of adventurers into the space and he finds unlimited resources for humanity across the universe.
I think this book is very well written and has original ideas. Personally, I like to think about future beyond life in the planet earth and I felt identified with the intriguing possibilities given all the time. For futurist people like me this book is great. I just couldn’t put it down!
To sum up, this work is well worth reading. I highly recommend it!

What a great book!
K3+ falls into the category of science fiction, and let me
tell you, what a sci-fi!
In 344 pages, the author has been able to put all his futuristic knowledge into this well-thought-out
and well-written tale.
Right from the preface, readers will be immediately engaged by this book’s theme. It is possible to think about a planetary catastrophe due to climate change is possible, but have we ever thought about life in other planes? What about colonizing the solar system? All these topics are touched throughout the book and maDe up a first-rate storyline.
As regards the way this book has been penned, I loved the fact that Acosta inserted links on those vocabulary items that may be problematic for readers. Those links would take them directly to wikipedia and once they check the meanings of the words they can keep on reading without
having to open another tab. Fun read!

“K3+” written by Erasmo Acosta is a futuristic novel with an interesting mixture of science, space exploration and genetic manipulation woven into its pages. Although it is a work of fiction, the plot is supported by detailed descriptions of scientific facts and medical explanations and procedures. This, together with the descriptions of a society subjected to advances that sometimes go beyond imagination, makes this book realistic, spine-tingling at times and thought-provoking. The author has cleverly substituted footnotes with hyperlinks what makes the reading easier.
The story is set in a dystopic future where space exploration and colonization have been the solution for the overpopulation of Earth. Discoveries in science and medicine, such as the extension of human life, have allowed people to reach every corner of the Universe. However, when new interests arise and tension grows the plot is set in motion. Will the human kind survive? A great read, don’t miss it!

I absolutely loved this book. It covers a number of topics that forced me to rethink how humanity would move out into the stars. I got lost in this book for a few days as I was forced to pause and thinking about the emotional responses I had to each section of the book.
I think its rare that a book triggers your anger but at the same time makes you love it. can't wait to re read this book again.

This is a middle length book, with more than three hundred pages, that captured my attention almost at first glance. This science fiction read called K3+, written by Erasmo Acosta, is very interesting and leaves intriguing questions to readers.
The plot shows that the author did quite a good investigation about the topic and that portrayed it in a very good way in this writing. His writing style is good and simple, making this a read aimed at everyone.
The main protagonist was carefully developed and portrayed, making people empathize with him. There are also good descriptions that help to make a mental picture of each situation. It is a good book that I would recommend.
November 20, 2020
I believe this book has been crafted in an astonishing way by Acosta. I am pretty sure writing science fiction may not be an easy task and this author has done an amazing job developing a fantastic main character and a storyline which is easy to follow, but at the same time informative.
I have learned so many things after finishing this book. Terms like galaxy, the Milky Way or neural interfaces were all new for me.
Federico, the main character, has been amazingly portrayed by the author. Fans of science fiction would feel him near.
The story has been written in a dialogue-based form and its main theme is the future and how this planet’s civilization can be saved if they actually settle themselves in another part of the universe, like in any planet from the solar system.
K3+ is an out-of-the-ordinary tale which would be loved by any type of reader. Worth the read!

For some time now the genre of space operas has become one of my favorite subjects when choosing a book. When I saw the cover of the K3+ book and read its summary, I knew it was a book I had to read, and after reading it, I was not disappointed at all.
Erasmo Acosta is the author of this book, and you can see the fantastic research carried out by the author on the subject in each of the details he relates; he does not leave details left to chance.
The characters in the story do not contain much personal development, except for Federico the protagonist. They don't need it either. It is not a novel about people, but about humanity as a whole, and the characters are mere representatives of it.
The prose of Erasmo is simple, but so effective that the book becomes extremely addictive. The pace of the novel is fast, entertaining, and at times extremely absorbing.
The novel concludes with such a dazzling ending and with such a momentous turn of events in history, not of the protagonists and not even of humanity, but of the universe itself, which leaves the reader dazzled and eager to want to read more.
Without hesitation, I recommend this book. In my opinion, this is a great read, and I am convinced that it can be fully enjoyed.

Humanity stands at the brink of its greatest adventure!
Erasmo Acosta’s K3+ undertakes a truly daunting task: to chronicle the first steps of the human species into the reaches of the universe, and then to extrapolate on that path into dizzying reaches of futurity.
Part manifesto on the ills of present-day society, part prescription for addressing those failings, and part blueprint for technological transcendence, K3+ also manages to be a surprisingly human tale of its extremely long-lived protagonist as he witnesses and shapes these changes.
It is a novel of breathtaking ambition and scale, and yet it never loses sight of the emotional values (and costs!) of these sweeping events for a character who is as clearly forged by his own travails and triumphs as is the species he helps guide out into the cosmos.
Acosta is perhaps less sanguine than I about the prospects for planetary colonization (he’s bearish on Mars), but he makes a compelling case for constructing O’Neill habitats instead. The agenda his novel sets for making use of the total output of a star to drive a post-scarcity civilization is dizzying in its scope, and meticulously described.
Not just airy technospeak and social commentary, the novel also contains nail-biting action sequences, heartbreaking personal struggles, heartwarming relationships, and a refreshing dose of wry humor.
It is a trip eminently worth taking!

Delightful!!!. In K3+ the author managed to create a compelling possible future in space for the human race.
The story follows the future of space colonization through the life over the eons of Federico Tarifa, a smart, but rather unmotivated man in California's 21st century, who dreams about a future in the stars.
As time passes you start wondering if the future of humanity can really be the utopia the author describes, until almost a billion years in the future humanity faces its first real moral dilemma.
This is a nice and easy to read book with a very compelling and imaginative end. A real pleasure!

I enjoyed this hard sci-fi novel a lot. It is a very interesting view of what humanity could become. Science savvy readers will appreciate the huge work the author put into the book. Even if you are not into science and particularly astrophysics you should not shy away as the concepts discussed are well explained and nicely embedded into the story.
As I put this novel down I wished it would have been longer. Could be the beginning of a serie.

This is an excellent book detailing a possible future for humanity once we leave the Earth. The science, as we currently understand it, is sound and provides a solid jumping off point for the story. I highly recommend.

I try desperately to keep political views out of my reviews. But when a book is nothing more than a political rant, that becomes difficult.
The author creates straw men, easily depicted as greedy people ready to sell out the human race. America (as envisioned by the founding fathers) is portrayed as an evil force to be overcome by a ridiculous utopia, only available in fantasy. One of the good things about being an author is that you are the God of the universe you are creating and can create idiotic consequences for not towing the party line.
While this is an imaginative story, as a conservative Christen, I found it hard to get into. The entire story is an insult and condemnation of everything I believe in. America, capitalism, and religion are the bad guys in this story. It’s hard to enjoy a story where every sentence tells me what an idiotic moron I am because I believe in the American dream.
If you despise everything the founding father fought and died for, then this is likely a good read for you. If you have any connection to reality, probably not so much. If you are still under the ignorant impression that the United States is still a good place to live, rather than a socialist utopia like Venezuela, then this is not the book for you.
This will absolutely be the last book I will read by this author.
I Gifted it an additional stars just to off set my visceral reaction to the idiotic political themes.

When I saw the title of the book it caught my attention since for a long time I have been looking for a novel that talks about advanced civilizations, as well as life outside this planet. K3+ is a novel from my point of view that illustrates, based on valid scientific information, that in the not too distant future, we will be able to create a civilization that can migrate outside of this planet and make use of the innumerable resources of which the planets and stars were formed for the benefit of an altruistic civilization whose aim is the exploration and conquest of space. For those enthusiasts of science fiction applied to today's technological advances, as well as futuristic visions of technology, K3+ is a highly recommended novel, while being entertaining and getting the reader immersed in the story as it develops. As a final point, I would say that it tests a theory of making life in self-sustaining rotating habitats possible that may be feasible in the not too distant future.

The strong narrative is easy to follow. I loved the interactions between the characters and their relationships with the passage of time. It made me reflect on my existence, where we come from, and where we’re headed to.
The hyperlinks are super cool, and really help non-techies assimilate the scientific concepts. The author creates a futuristic world that made me feel immersed into, and compelled to me learn more about the technologies that made the story possible.
The easy-to-digest plot was very entertaining. Time flew for me reading this novel

LOVED IT!
In many ways the tenor of this book reminded me of Carl Sagan's "Contact" - I was really happy to find a book that touched on so many of my own interests and, indirectly, projects. So, no "Space Opera" here - but some serious, intelligent thinking, great research and creative writing providing an answer to the age-old question for humans: "Why are we here?" - Erasmo shows, in a very entertaining way, what we should be doing . .
