About Blaski

As a lover of both novels and cinema, I wrote my first book United Worlds as a hybrid that blends my favorite elements of both forms. 

Born and raised in Argentina, I moved to the US in 2019 to pursue my master’s degree and never left. Moving from a developing country to the heart of Silicon Valley working full time at Google was definitely a profound change, one that subconsciously inspired United Worlds. The protagonist of my sci-fi thriller is a young man living in a religious, anti-tech community who moves to a fully immersive virtual country to save his mother’s life. 

But that connection to my own life was a realization that came later. It wasn’t intentional. What inspired me to write this book was using virtual reality during the pandemic. While in lockdown, I traveled to different worlds and was blown away. If VR feels this real now, what happens when the technology evolves? What happens when it becomes indistinguishable from the physical world? 

Can virtual reality be as real as physical reality? And down the rabbit hole I went. Can an uploaded mind without a body still be human? Can artificial life be as real as biological life? 

These are the questions at the heart of United Worlds. 

The result is a screenplay novel. It has the fast pace and visual drive of a screenplay, layered with the internal thoughts, sensory depth, and narrative voice of a novel. It’s a new kind of reading experience designed to play out like a movie in your mind. 

I’ve never seen this style before. If you want the speed of a movie with the soul of a book, you will enjoy this.
