Description
Just about a year ago, the concept for a sci-fi book popped into my head. I instantly knew I have to see it through despite not having any writing experience (and a pretty demanding job). Over 2025, I attended writer circles, improved my writing, and structured the story. Here is the first chapter. I hope you enjoy it :)

Could you build this?
No This is a creative writing novel project, which is artistic content rather than software to vibe-code.
What it would actually take: This is a creative literary work rather than a software application. Producing a full-length, coherent sci-fi novel requires extensive personal creative writing, narrative plotting, world-building, and iterative human editing rather than software engineering.
