Stories from the Future ~ Audio Drama

In Part 3, the code is finally revealed...

Visit a remote tropical paradise and see the modern world from an outsider's perspective. No smartphones. No electricity. The Code of the Blue Warrior is about to be revealed....

Episode Note: Nia Hu (pronounced nee-ah-hu) is a fictional island in the Hawaiian archipelago. It is inspired by Niʻihau, Hawaii (pronounced Nee-ee-how). The intention is to convey the image of a paradise untouched by the modern world, not specifically the cultural nuances of Niʻihau.

In part 2 of our ongoing miniseries, we learn the backstory of how Quinn and Quinci first meet, before they take a journey together to the fictional island paradise of Nia Hu.

Code of the Blue Warrior will appeal to fans of Ishmael by Daniel Quinn, The Celestine Prophecy, and those who enjoy Alan Watts chillstep videos on YouTube.

"Code of the Blue Warrior" is an excerpt from the novel, "The Eden Syndrome" by Tom Tortorich

In Part One of our miniseries, we meet Alan Ishmael for the first time, bathing in the hot springs at the Esalen Institute. Esalen, a retreat center in Big Sur, California is the birthplace of the "Human Potential Movement," setting the scene for Alan Ishmael to converse with Quinn Delterra, a refugee from the modern world, who left behind a 6-figure career as an A.I. programmer. This begins a series of episodes inspired by Daniel Quinn's classic novel Ishmael as well as Alan Watts, the 20th-century philosopher who brought Eastern Philosophy to the West.

A Grand Master chess savant and world-class sailboat racing champion, Alan Ishmael has escaped the modern world and lives on the fictional island paradise of Nia Hu (based on Niʻihau).

Code of the Blue Warrior will also appeal to fans of The Celestine Prophecy and Dan Millman's Way of the Peaceful Warrior.

The Code of the Blue Warrior mini-series could almost be considered fan fiction of the novel "Ishmael" by Daniel Quinn. Ongoing chapters will be released one at a time over the next several weeks.

In this short promo for the mini-series, hear the backstory about how the novel "Ishmael" won a writing contest for $500,000, the single biggest cash prize for a piece of literature ever awarded.

Without that contest, the beloved novel Ishmael never would have seen the light of day.

We are accepting submissions for short stories to be read on the podcast! Complete info here: StoriesfromtheFuture.co

Turner Tomorrow Fellowship Award:

For me, the Global Change Movement has already happened. But it won't unless Secret Agents like me can encourage the change. It's one of those temporal paradoxes I'm not supposed to tell you about. This Secret Agent from the future has decided to violate the Temporal Directive.

Tagline: Imagine a future we can look forward to, not one we fear.

HAPPY EARTHDAY FROM THE PEOPLE OF THE FUTURE!

Welcome to the Positive Futurism Podcast. In Science Fiction, Positive Futurism is known by another name, Solarpunk.

The Future of our living planet is not the vision from mainstream fiction, nor is it the facts climate activists present. That's not the future, that's what we fear.

The facts are not the problem ~ the facts are the parameters for the solutions.

The Positive Futurism podcast is the place to listen to stories from the actual future, the ones the solutions brought about, and the major mindset shift that got us there.

Here, you'll hear short stories and excepts from audiobooks from the future. We'll also keep you up to date about Solarpunk writing contests, art contests, deadlines and awards.

We'll be discussing actual eco-friendly technologies already in place.

You've probably heard the term self-fulfilling prophecy. The future is just that. It might be hard to think about the future, so let's start remembering how we got there .... right here on the Positive Futurism podcast: stories from the future.
