Time has run out for the Oversight/Winfinity universe. On the road to insanity, the United States did a surprising thing: it took a sharp turn towards rationality. Or so one can hope. No pun intended.
For those billions who have not followed my writing excessively, the Oversight/Winfinity universe was born in “Winning Mars,” in which a Mars colony is accidentally started by a reality TV show, in the shadow of an oppressive “Oversight” regime in the United States. It was followed by “Saving Mars,” where the US government is overthrown by a corporate coalition looking for control of a newly-developed rejuvenation technique. Yes, I know. Cheery times.
To celebrate the death of this universe, I’ve decided to take the final novel in the Oversight/Winfinity universe and put it up on this blog, serial-style, over the course of 2009. Yeah, I know. Cliffhangers. What a pain in the ass. But hey, Eternal Franchise isn’t all about corporate drones. It has aliens. And robots. And nuclear weapons. And kinda-sorta-working faster-than-light travel.
And yeah, I know, maybe we could still end up with this future. But not on the Oversight/Winfinity timeline. So think of this as alternate history. In the future. (Alternate future?)
Starting today, I’ll be putting up a chapter’s worth of Eternal Franchise every week for your enjoyment. Or whatever. Along with other articles, news, and opinions, of course.
On to newer, more interesting futures!
