Storyline

The STARNAUT, last hope of all mankind, the final human, casts the lens of his mind's eye across forgotten Squares of a lonely and indifferent cosmos, to put Earth back together again and give Her a future....but is he really ready? Copiasu, an eighth-generation designer baby created by two charismatic AIs, Wonderful and Stella, was immaculately conceived with a heart of gold and the best traits of all his forebearers. As the dying gasp of the Phoenix Project, a contingency plan that existed for Earth's total destruction, this courageous 5th-grader made out of the very best of us, boldly stares down ZOL, the multiversal menace, against impossible odds. But no legion can snuff out the universal human flame of kindness and love that exists in each and every one of us, should we choose to nourish it.... Before the doomsday, people launched the Omega Rockets, packed full-to-bursting with all of the memories and feelings of everyone on Planet Earth, both for good and for ill....did you know the average human brain is theorized to contain 2.5 petabytes of storage capacity? The STARNAUT himself, and no one else, carries this torch burning bright, encoded inside his mind and in his heart, and to remember is to care, about each and every bit of it. Truly an enormous responsibility, by any measure. He is a miracle, but he is still a person, same as you, who needs the love and support of others, and there are things about people that no circumstance can change....
