About the Author

Michael Atman (1946) is a futurist and Indie author of speculative fiction, graphic artist, photorealistic illustrator, and creator of space art. He also blogs on fiction with foresight, photo innovations, and OsumPODS, his concept of sustainable living. Atman explores such areas as futuristic technologies, space travel, alien invasions, astronomical events, and the destiny of humanity in his novels.

As a futurist, Atman questions everything. He believes that human survival into the future will require the creation of sustainable super-structures and off-grid independent communities, independence from mass infrastructure, the end of planned obsolescence, a major overhaul of governments, banking, investing, and insurance, plus the creation of test tube foods with the end of ranching and farming, and last but not least, the abandonment of religious superstitions.
