Children of the New Sun
Who qualifies to lead humanity into the future? Only the strong and deserving can claim that privilege. Those who understand humanity's many facets and its essential nature may claim to be the rightful leaders of civilization, guiding us toward humanity's ascension into a new kind of enlightened social order.
In this story, real events blend with plausible fiction as an enlightened breed of people sparks social upheaval in the fertile soil of Renaissance Italy, reviving interest in the tenets of humanism. They guide an engineered society through five centuries of turmoil and war. This journey culminates in the fulfillment of its perceived purpose: to lead humanity into the new Golden Age. Powerful forces defending the status quo stand against those defending enlightened thought. The ensuing battle proves cataclysmic and decisive.
The idea of imperfect creations that fade or are destroyed persists in the imaginations of myth-tellers across cultures and time periods. These imperfect creations are destroyed by those who battle the Gods, or even by the Gods themselves. This concept of destruction/creation may exist not only in the imaginations of myth-tellers but also in their genetic coding-an idea this story explores.
The gripping speculative fiction teaches valuable lessons for students of modern history. It offers philosophical and ethical insights for any era. This story will challenge you to question your values and beliefs. Could our present age be playing out a script similar to the one this story reveals?
The author, a decades-long student of Philosophy, History, and Psychology, has contributed essays and commentary to select online platforms.
