What we set out to do
IT TAKES DEATH TO REACH A STAR is more than just a futuristic thriller. Here, we set out to explore where the human race is headed in terms of our need for perceived perfection, the widening gap between social classes, the rise in terror-based tactics of extremist groups and the impending global impact of anti-bacterial resistance.
Grounding the novel in facts and scientific theories, we expanded on our current society ad absurdum and imagined where will be in just a few hundred years.
Moreover, we wanted to explore the possibility that religion and science are both attempting to explain the same thing: our universe. In fact, they may not be mutually exclusive but two views of the same coin - if only we'd listen to each other.
