Five long trips in a mysterious and unusual part of the universe. There you will become acquainted with belligerent plutonidians, indomitable rebels fighting against mind control occult power, and lastly brain merchants. Also along the way you will also meet weird engineered creatures playing an unwitting part in life and brave galactic explorers. A great war opens the surreal scenarios of the Mother Galaxy. But what is it that really controls the mechanisms of the Universe? Why does Zetana not 'connect' like everyone else? UIGO is an inter-galactic reporter who finds the ultimate story beyond infinity in search of new realities. Will he change the perception of the Universe? A curious small grey fellow, Meba, happily flutters with his motormembrane, plays virtual games and pushes mysterious buttons. Can he succeed in challenging his “cognocractic” rulers. And finally, what will be the sensational outcome of an encounter between two powerful leaders inside a simulation of their own memories? *** "This book is a collection of five tales which in a way reflect the ideas that I have further expanded and developed in my two novels. Technology and science are the driving forces of the far away worlds I describe, but above all each one of these short stories is really the celebration of the triumph of intelligence, both natural and artificial, that our species deserves."

In a galaxy teeming with life, the Plutonidians stand out as a fascinating species. Originating from nomadic intergalactic tribes, they have embraced a life of solitude, preferring to settle on new uninhabited planets rather than mingle with other species of the Mother Galaxy. However, everything changes when a small planet, almost obscured by the delicate glow of the Doga nebula, is discovered by chance. Tales of Plutonidian wars were mere myths of a bygone era, but with the arrival of a new colony on this pristine world disturbing events begin to unfold. "The War of the Plutonidians" narrates the transformation of a peaceful planet into a nightmarish battlefield. Told through the eyes of a Micromega – an intergalactic observer tens of kilometers tall – this story captures the amazement and disbelief of a being who, after two and a half centuries, is once again struck by the insignificance of humanity and the absurdity of its wars. With a tone that oscillates between wonder and resignation, the narrative explores how chaos can become order, noise can turn into silence and peace, incredibly, can become war. A story that invites reflection on the fragility of peace and the inevitable cycle of conflicts inherent in human nature.
