Scientists from NASA and Toho University in Japan completed a study using mathematical models and supercomputers to project how far in the future the last livable day will be. The came up with a year: 1,000,002,021. That’s nearly a billion years in the future, a time when all life on Earth will become extinct. Can you imagine how fun the New Years Eve celebration will be on December 31, 1,000,002,020? I don’t know about you, but I plan to go out for ice cream that day.

So, at last, if humanity survives that long we will become extinct. Unless… we have moved on and taken our space settlements to the stars. Luckily, we have begun the process in my novel “Outbound: Islands in The Void.”  Cast approximately 250 years in the future the book describes what life in that future could be like.

And it offers hope for our descendants if our human societies experience social revolution. Is that
possible? Read my next book coming out this spring, Outbound: Meta Mars and follow our imagined evolution into the future.
