Oceans Above: How humans will live within watery worlds

By Edward J. Shaya

In the next 100 years, AI surpasses human intelligence, robots take over our work, and fusion energy brings unlimited power. Fusion engines ignite a new era of exploration, enabling mass migration to planets, moons, and asteroids across the solar system. With the elimination of aging, humanity experiences a population explosion. Our once small solar system becomes densely populated, with life thriving on thousands of worlds. Thanks to radioactive heating, the interiors of moons, asteroids, and planets are warm, creating an abundance of habitable environments that can support life. In 200 years, the adventure goes beyond the Solar System. As a rogue planet passes through the outer reaches of our solar system, select individuals get the chance to embark on an unprecedented journey to leave our solar confines and explore more worlds. Two esteemed scientists enlighten the crew with lectures on the worlds that will serve as humanity's archipelago, islands for expansion. However, a formidable organization staunchly opposes the notion of leaving the Sun's embrace, setting the stage for a conflict of ideologies that tests the resolve of those venturing into the cosmic unknown. The future of the human race hangs in the balance in multiple ways. Oceans Above describes the astronomy and astrobiology that interstellar travelers need. It is a rare science fiction book that is heavily scientific. Join astrophysicist Edward J. Shaya in Oceans Above and delve into the inevitable future of space exploration, settlements on other planets, and the search for extraterrestrial life.
