What if you suddenly woke up in a strange, Utopian world 300 years into the future… and you slowly came to the realization that you were the one that created it?

When a 40-year-old recovering alcoholic IT professional named Alex awakens in the chiseled body of a handsome 30-year-old man three centuries into the future, he immediately discovers two things… One, apparently time travel is really possible and Two, this incredibly advanced future civilization is vastly different from the old one.

In this vibrant utopia with no countries, no money, and no war, every job is appreciated and the values of compassion and interconnectedness reign supreme. As Alex immerses himself in this advanced society, he is amazed to discover that values such as mindfulness and mutual respect shape daily life. With no institutions to enforce order, the people thrive in a culture that celebrates each individual's contribution.

But as Alex unravels the threads of this extraordinary world, he uncovers a shocking truth — he is the unknowing author of the governing book that shaped this society. Faced with this revelation, he must confront his own prejudices and the limitations of his current life. Embracing new experiences, including the open and revered nature of intimacy in this future society, he learns to shed the fears that have held him back.

The Society is an immersive science fiction / fantasy thriller, which features stunningly vivid world-building, complex character development and imaginative futuristic AI technologies. Join Alex on this thought-provoking journey, where the future holds the key to transforming the present, and one man’s quest for understanding can ripple through time, illuminating the path to a brighter, more humane existence. The Society Series continues in Volume 2 - The Dalai Lama and the Multiverse.

Will Alex succeed in reshaping his Utopian society, or will the echoes of the past drown out the promise of tomorrow?

“What makes this novel stand out is its intricate world-building. The futuristic society is both imaginative and eerily plausible, with technology, surveillance, and hierarchy playing central roles in every character’s life. The protagonist's journey—from ignorance to awareness, from compliance to defiance—is gripping and emotionally resonant.” — Amazon Review
