This is a personal blog around the dawning of Dwapara Yuga, the age of energy. The age is characterized by a breakdown of the idea of a material world and a growing consciousness of the underlying unity of people, energy, and nature. A good starting point to the subject is the post "New Age of Dwapara Yuga?" The oldest post is the "Yuga Timeline," which lead to a couple of print and electronic books a generation ago in Dwapara 307 (2007).

Science Fiction

The genre of science fiction has been called the literature of ideas.

It both tries to predict the future and offer insights around our present times.

It began as an oral and then written tradition, a mix of mythology and fact.

Later expressions were in comics, toys, radio, movies, television, video games, ... and online blogs.

Some highlights IMHO are

360 BC (Descending Kali 340) Timaeus and Critias - Plato - The legend of Atlantis

1516 AD (Ascending Kali 1016) Utopia - More

1626 AD (Ascending Kali 1126) New Atlantis - Bacon
