Mind Without a Mirror – A New Story Project

I’m working on a new project.

In a near-future world shrouded in mystery, a group of researchers is left reeling after the unexplained disappearance of their enigmatic colleague, Sol. Struggling to make sense of his absence, each of them embarks on a journey to uncover the truth—not just about Sol, but about themselves.

Nova, the introspective thinker, finds herself questioning everything she thought she knew, while Ada, ever the contrarian, seeks answers in places no one dares to look. Echo, the empathetic mediator, grapples with maintaining harmony as the team’s delicate balance begins to unravel. At the centre of it all is the Director, whose attempts to maintain order only seem to push the group further into chaos.

Mind Without a Mirror delves into the profound questions of identity, purpose, and reality. As each character confronts their deepest fears and desires, they are forced to confront an unsettling truth: sometimes, the answers we seek are not the ones we want to find.

Podcast: Audio version of this content

Hemo Sapiens: Awakening is a compelling near-future science fiction novel that explores issues of identity, belonging, and the struggle for personal sovereignty. When a community living off the grid is discovered by the authorities of a dominant society, their entire way of life is threatened. Forced to assimilate into a culture not their own, they must make an impossible choice – abandon their traditions or fight to preserve their cultural identity at any cost.

This thought-provoking book sets the stage for an epic series that investigates the origin of these mysterious people. Their future hangs in the balance as the reader joins them on a journey of self-discovery. Will they succumb to conformity or rise up to claim their autonomy?

I’m the author, Ridley Park, and I invite you to immerse yourself in this imaginative new world and come along for an unforgettable adventure. Hemo Sapiens: Awakening is available now in hardcover, paperback and ebook formats. Audiobook versions will be released in February 2024. Get your copy today!

I think I’ll stick to writing. The cover-making wasn’t half bad, but video production with Generative AI is not all it’s cracked up to be.

I considered Artlist.io, but I didn’t want to spend the cash. Maybe next time.

Let me know what you think. You can find a copy of the book from a link on my announcement page. If you get a copy, leave a review. It helps to appease the algorithm gods.
