In the year 2120, the world has changed beyond recognition. Climate change has ravaged the planet, reducing the human population to a mere 3 billion. The few remaining fertile regions are controlled by a powerful alliance of nations in the north, while those in the southern regions struggle to survive. This is the world of Ophelia, the first three books in “The Gaia Machine” series—a gripping dystopian science fiction trilogy that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.

A Riveting Plot with Non-Stop Action

Ophelia is a series of three dystopian science fiction novellas that are non-stop action techno-thrillers. At the heart of the story is The Gaia Machine, an advanced artificial intelligence designed to maintain order across a divided Earth. But this machine is being used to control the masses, and one woman, Ophelia Alsop, is determined to stop it.

Ophelia is a privileged woman from the United Kingdom who has long been a conscientious objector to the surrogacy trade, a cruel system where young women from the south are traded as surrogates in exchange for fresh water. When Ophelia becomes pregnant with her husband, she is punished by the invisible hand of the law in a manner only The Gaia Machine could execute. This sets off a chain of events that lead her to uncover the shocking truth behind the surrogacy trade, the illegal harvesting of human organs, and the Ruling Elite’s terrifying plans for the future of humanity.

Immersive World-Building

Readers have praised the series for its immersive world-building, likening it to the richness and depth of Star Wars. The author has created a believable and detailed world where the geopolitical landscape is eerily similar to our own. As one reader put it, the series “mimics real life to a haunting and disturbing degree.”

By the year 2120, life below the equator has almost entirely ceased, and nations between the equator and the 45th parallel north are bound by exploitive trade agreements with the more fertile nations in the north. Alaska, Canada, Greenland, Great Britain, Scandinavia, Russia, and Siberia are thriving, thanks to The Gaia Machine. Representatives from these nations form the power base on Earth and Mars, and their demands are met by the Ruling Elite Secret Service (RESS).

Complex Characters and Intense Emotion

The characters in Ophelia are strong and well-developed, each with their own motivations and struggles. Ophelia’s journey takes her from a life of privilege to one of poverty, and she must navigate a world of intrigue and danger as she fights to destroy The Gaia Machine and reveal the power brokers behind the digital curtain.

Readers have described the series as “intense, emotional, dystopian sci-fi” that keeps you “questioning the universe as you flip through the pages.” The writing is “smooth, descriptive, and lean,” with plenty of plot twists to keep you guessing. Just when you think you’ve got it figured out, the story takes a surprising turn.

A Dark and Disturbing Future

Ophelia paints a dark picture of the future, but it’s a future that feels all too possible. The series depicts a world where bioweapons have reached their zenith, capable of either healing or destroying entire nations in the blink of an eye. There have been another two world wars—one nuclear and one biological—and the Ruling Elite consider these wars an act of benevolence, to end all life where climate-induced suffering has reached unbearable limits.

For those living in the affluent northern region, life is made comfortable by The Gaia Machine. But for those in the south, life is a daily struggle for survival. The surrogacy trade is just one example of the many ways the Ruling Elite exploit the less fortunate. Ophelia’s story is a stark reminder of the dangers of unchecked power and the importance of standing up for what is right.

An Easily Imaginable Future

The world of Ophelia is both fascinating and terrifying. It is a world where technology has advanced to the point where artificial intelligence controls every aspect of life, and where the powerful few dictate the fate of the many. As one reader put it, the series “depicts a geopolitical world that is happening now.”

The series has been compared to other dystopian classics like “1984” and “The Handmaid’s Tale.” It is a “slow burning thriller” that will leave you thinking long after you’ve turned the last page. If you’re looking for a thrilling, intelligent, and well-written series that will keep you captivated from start to finish, look no further than Ophelia.

Ophelia is a must-read for fans of dystopian science fiction. With its non-stop action, immersive world-building, complex characters, and intense emotion, it is a series that will keep you hooked from beginning to end.
