Tiggy’s next great experience reaches beyond the next country. His science-fiction romantasy follows humanity across planets, towards the energy ambitions of the Kardashev scale and into encounters with extraterrestrial and extra-dimensional civilisations. Art, pleasure, work and relationships travel into that future with him.
The Worldbuilding Challenge Festival
At the Forge’s imagined futures festival, teams pitch whole civilisations. A week moves from the Pitch Arena into a Build Sprint, ending with a 12-minute film, a working simulation and a world bible. An island campus residency is among the possibilities that follow.
Tiggy’s interests meet in the bustle: filmmakers, artists, scientists and people with very different ideas about a good life. He is drawn to the workbench, the projected world and the conversation that continues when a presentation finishes. A civilisation model gives a group something enormous to make together.
Play on the Moon
Moonlight Frontier imagines lunar adventure and low-gravity sport. Tiggy’s bodyboarding appetite finds a different physical playground: unfamiliar movement, a longer leap and the amusement of discovering how his body feels there.
On Earth he remembers a ride through salt water. Here the view reaches across a lunar landscape. Companions share the surprise and the laughter, each enjoying the experience in her own way. His love of play follows him into a very different place.
A solar system worth exploring
The Forge’s Virtual Solar Swarm imagines one observing instrument distributed across the solar system. Its Helios Solar Observatory looks towards the Sun from several directions. These are research concepts feeding a much larger fictional horizon.
For Tiggy, that scale becomes a world to enter with people: a visit, a creative collaboration, music and conversation beneath an extraordinary view. Luke’s volunteer AI strategy work with Space Development Nexus in India gives the spaceward imagination a thread back to his own travels.
A crowd beyond Earth
He dreams of performing at Glastonbury. The fiction asks where the music travels after that. An orbital gathering has its own audience, acoustics and view. A civilisation with unfamiliar senses hears something in i C. infinity that he never expected.
An artist begins a conversation after the performance. They talk about what each experienced, and the encounter grows through that mutual curiosity. Contact opens into art, friendship and romance, with other intelligences bringing their own ideas into the meeting.
The horizon being built
Luke sees today’s spaceflight, AI and robotics work as early ingredients of a much larger future. NASA’s Moon to Mars strategy and Gemini Robotics connect that curiosity to present work. Interstellar encounters and travel across dimensions belong to the speculative stories.
GAJRA Earth carries joyful responsible abundance into the planetary imagination. Tiggy is interested in the life within that scale: the music, food, company, useful work and enjoyment of being there. The universe grows vast. The encounters remain personal.
