Exploring the future of science today, while looking back on the achievements from yesterday. Science fiction is science future.
The Last Void Song and the Evolution of Interactive Entertainment
Where to begin with this project?! I suppose with the name? The Last Void-Song is a series of novels set in a not so distant future about a young man who is thrust into a universe of horror and magic and sci fi beyond his wildest dreams, the books are about the responsibilities of leadership, of fatherhood. It’s about the corrupting influence of power and the horrors of isolation, the ruin of hate and sorrow upon the soul but more than anything else, The Last Void-Song is about humanity. It’s about who we might be in our darkest moments, when we have nothing else but each other and the need to survive, to keep on going despite unimaginable hardship. In a way, The Last Void-Song has been my confession. It’s my measure of how far I’ve come from a time where I did not think I would get very far at all. The shining worlds and fathomless depths of the Void-Song universe allowed me to escape the troubles and torments of my life and my dwindling mental health and just be somewhere else for a time. Which, maybe explains why it’s about 13 multiverses wide at this stage. (I always go big)

One Day at a Time, Gemini
Geminis are expressive and represent two different personalities in one. Maybe that's why some of the best actors in the world are Geminis? I share my birthday, June 9th, with two iconic actors- Natalie Portman and Johnny Depp and I'm an actor myself (although placing myself next to these two probably sounds a bit sad, well, you get the point.) We're curious and affectionate. We go from an emotional wreck to a self-made hero within 6 minutes. We need excitement and fight fiercely for what makes us feel passionate.

Gemini: It Takes Two
Welcome, Gemini! I've been expecting you. Your curiosity got the better of you again, didn’t it? That’s totally fine! It’s one of the many things, and there are indeed many, that makes you, well, you. These different sides of you may come across in a way that screams “Two-Faced,” but if people knew the story of your zodiac symbol, they’d understand. It’s not your fault that the twins (Pollux and Castor) have two different dads, or that Castor was mortal and Pollux was immortal, you’re just along for the ride. So, fasten your seatbelt, my dear, sweet Gemini, because many positives are in store for you today, but there will also be some occurrences that will negatively impact you, so you need to be careful! With your intellect and adaptability though, there is no doubt that you will overcome these obstacles and come out stronger because of them.

How far are we from creating lightsabers?
Almost every one of us will agree that lightsabers are awesome. But, we haven't seen even a single thing that's got close to lightsabers. The closest thing we have to lightsabers are lasers. But, lasers simply don't give the look and feel of lightsabers. We cannot see the laser beams and can't contain them to a specific length, either. So, how far are we from creating real lightsabers?

And I watched the sun set, and smiled.
There are few things more beautiful than the slow unfurling of nature across urban areas as it gently reclaims what we borrowed. These stones were only ever on loan; these iron railings, these glassy facades, these pillars of steel; they were never ours, not really. And here she comes, with weary inevitability, to take it all back.

A Ride Through the Future
Imagine entering a car similar to the one shown above. It is advertised as an experience similar to a taxi, except there is no driver. As you enter, a voice asks for your destination. You ask if the car can take you around town and it replies, “of course.”

Why I Think We Live in a Simulation
Now I’m sure the first thing you picture when you read that title is me wearing a Tinfoil hat and writing this article. But let me tell you, I do not believe in random conspiracy theories, I don’t wear a Tinfoil hat or believe in crazy ideas such as the world being round; just kidding about the last one. But I want to take a more logical approach and reason out why it might be vital for us to create a simulation in the future and why we might be in one of them.

Far away
Light was seeping in through the small space between the blinds and the window ledge that reached all the way to the floor. It came in furtively, licking the wooden surface of the floors, trying hard to reach with its warm hand the opposite wall.

Unexpected Twist
Now I’m sixteen years old and have been locked up in my room for thirteen whole years. I’ve only ever been outside of my room to be homeschooled. I really hate that I can’t even go out for a bit of fresh air, instead I’m expressing my feelings through a flipping notebook. Anyway, I should probably start from the beginning.
