Children of Arla: Planet Postmoderna

De: Alan Morgan

Narrado por: AC Oliver

John Baxter is the former CEO of an influential Virtual Reality Technologies Company. Having built an empire on immersive virtual world technologies and other investments, early retirement and some much-needed time with his family seem well-earned. But his early retirement is short-lived.

On a trip to a mining outpost to aid in settling a labor dispute—his last act of diplomacy for his companies—he is cast into a tragedy that takes him to a faraway world that is ironically an organic virtual world. Created for humankind to find someday by an alien race who have visited our planet and many others throughout the ages, this world will be the stage for events that would change our universe forever. John and his crew will soon learn they were ominously cast to take part of this interstellar drama. They will learn how many of them and many of humankind are the Children of the Arla.

Author and project notes:
Planet Postmoderna began as a Virtual World Game project. The "Children of Arla" story--formerly the Advent--was started in the early 1980s. It went through several rewrites as the game project also went through its own iterations. Arla was completed in 2014 and is now published. The hope for the book is to get the story out into the metaverse and generate the funds necessary to launch the virtual world game. Visit the Planet Postmoderna website to learn more about the history, current, and future efforts of this very "organic" virtual world project. The online MMO virtual game the story is based on is meant to be played in conjunction with the book.
