The expression is based in an imagined future world named alpha10k and built collaboratively as part of our class and through assignments. This particular expression focuses on themes that emerged in our world tied to Time and Memory.
We meet our main character, Ivia in the year 11,127 in the alpha10k universe, an imagined future world where humans in 10,000 have inhabited other planets due to overcrowding on earth. Ivia is a Time and Travel Tester who lives on the planet GOBO and in the region of Goo where local residents, including members of Ivia’s Goo Unit, are who are all preparing to go to the biggest natural weather event of their lifetimes, the MegaSun.
Residents of Goo traveled with their chosen living communities (known as Goo Units) towards the glittery sands of Hammock Beach for the best view of alpha10k’s most anticipated natural sunbathing experience as unprecedented numbers of teleportation tourists filled the usually spacious and calm GOBO.
