INTRODUCTION

In 1945, at the start of the Atomic Age, the Empire of Japan and the other Axis powers were defeated by the Allies.

By 1955, top German scientists abducted by the USSR led the Soviets to the moon, starting an unstoppable race for the stars.

Devoting all its scientific and industrial resources, a divided mankind quickly gained access to fusion power, quantum computers, AI, systemwide communication networks and nutrigel.

But with all eyes focused on a destructive Cold War which spread across a colonized solar system, society's cultural evolution slowed and humankind opened the gates of a very strange future almost frozen in time…

A future of a unified Martian technocratic government, shady Lunar megacorporations and outer worlds orbital colonies.

A future of disco cyborgs, flying Chryslers with chrome plating and David Hasselhoff's outstanding political career…

A future that never was.

You can also find The Future That Never Was book series on Royal Road, reddit and other websites hosting webnovels!
