Earth
Cradle of humanity — a world of vast reach and deep roots. Yet the corruption that shadows every long-lived civilization, and the institutions built to hold it in check, at once propel Earth forward and weigh it down, slowing its every step.

The Author
S.C. Christensen
Driven by a pragmatic optimism for the human future, I write stories that explore how our ancient moral struggles will follow us deep into space. My storytelling is anchored in a diverse background — from my time as an Army helicopter mechanic in Iraq to a career in data science building fraud-prevention algorithms in D.C. and programming entertainment systems in Japan and Hollywood.
My work centers on the belief that humanity is worth fighting for; that the darkness is held back simply by ordinary people making good choices; and that our consciousness connects to a weightier, unseen reality beyond the physical world.
Horizons is my first novel.
