What is Neytopia about?
Mankind is born, and with it an immortal woman who believes the world is hers. Adored and then betrayed by the people she thinks she is saving, she spends centuries waging wars, building kingdoms and inventing gods, all to bend human nature to her will.
Centuries later, a village lord’s son is branded a slave by a masked warlord, an abused orphan grows up to lead a revolution, and an ancient prisoner waits for her chance to escape. Their stories cross as empires rise and fall and every revolution starts to look like the tyranny it replaced.
Everything had to change so everything could stay the same.
On a distant world run entirely by machines, a lone scout is sent on a millenary voyage. What he finds ties the whole story together.

You can always give me money. Since I don’t and won’t run ads nor sell private user data, the only other way to support me is to give me money. Note that this is not my full-time job. The more success and revenue this book generates, the more time I will spend writing paragraphs instead of code.
If you don’t care about me personally, think about your contribution as affecting the whole publishing ecosystem. Self-publishing is very time-consuming and takes skill or money. Successful self-published books prove to other authors that they don’t need a publisher. Giving me money, you would be voting for self-publishing with your wallet.
