Torrevieja, Alacant Jan 30, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - In a world dominated by dystopian narratives, Waking Up by Harald Neslein Sandø offers a refreshing and inspiring alternative: a hopeful vision of humanity’s future. Set for release on May 2, 2025, Waking Up is a gripping speculative fiction novel that explores what happens when humanity chooses collaboration over competition, abundance over scarcity, and wisdom over fear.
The novel follows Benjamin Michaels, a man who awakens from cryonic suspension into a world that has transcended scarcity and embraced a global resource-based economy. Accustomed to a society ruled by money and competition, he struggles to comprehend a system where trading no longer exists, and value is determined by contribution rather than profit.
As he navigates this unfamiliar yet harmonious reality, Benjamin faces moments of awe, disbelief, and deep personal challenges, forced to confront the stark contrast between his past and this new way of life.
With its compelling narrative and thought-provoking themes, Waking Up challenges readers to reconsider the limitations of our current systems and imagine a world where technology, collaboration, and ethical progress shape a better future for all.
“I wanted to write a story that doesn’t just warn us about what could go wrong but instead shows us what could go right,” says Sandø. “Dystopian fiction is powerful, but I believe we also need stories that inspire hope and offer a roadmap to something better.”
Waking Up is poised to resonate with fans of visionary science fiction, from The Venus Project to The Culture series. Early readers have praised its immersive storytelling, world-building, and optimistic yet realistic portrayal of a possible future.
The novel will be available for pre-order through Draft2Digital and other major platforms. Readers eager for a glimpse into this transformative future can follow updates on Sandø’s website and social media.
