After reading "The Alpha Centauri Project" a reader wrote that he wondered if the story was initially written as a screenplay and later adapted into a novel. Another told that his first thoughts after reading was how gorgeous it would be in an animated or motion picture format. And a third pointed out that uncommon visualization is an extreme sport that requires daring, controlled thought, and the ability to overcome barriers within the mind, imposed by current societal norms.
Now, after the novel, I have the pleasure to publish the script of "The Alpha Centauri Project". Summary and the long description are at the end.
Here is the beginning of the summary:
"This is the story of two women: Eve (35) and Victoria (25). Eve, a former officer, a brilliant software scientist with the dream of contributing to the digital people’ civilization by enhancing their programs, commits suicide after being charged with bribery.
Victoria is sucked into a whirlpool while bathing with James, her boyfriend.
After digitization, they both join Net.
Eve is disgusted by the world. She shelters in an outlaw community that fifty years before entered Net with a collective suicide: the Elects. Security, the federal organization in charge of fighting crime, is hunting them.
Victoria believes in perfect love, but her virtual relationship with James is deteriorating fast due to their differences.
When the two women meet, a deep confidence is born. Victoria quits James and a few days later, plucking up their courage, they both participate in a reproductive rite with the Elects. The community conceives Adam.
Things get worse. Martin, one of Adam’s parents, is killed. The culprit is Nihil, the head of the Elects. His community entrusted him with embarking them clandestinely on the starships of the Alpha Centauri Project. After he disappeared, the Elects charged Martin with finding him out. For sure he knew Nihil’s secret intentions..." |
