Title: Archae
Description: The book, not yet translated into English,  takes the reader into the next century, where the first intent is made to send a colony of a little more than a hundred people to settle on a planet circling nearby Alpha Centauri. This would have been impossible before because there was no energy so concentrated in the twentyfirst century to get there in only eighty years. Even then, it takes 5 tons of antimatter - a most dangerous material to harness which also requires hitherto unknown technologies to produce - in fusion with another five tons of normal matter - to generate sufficient energy for accelerating and breaking of the thousand ton ship. After 20 years, the trip takes new turn opening up a world of experiences, plausible but beyond our present vision of the world. It also changes and opens the views some ongoing .... .... but better read it yourself.
Time periods: In the future really starting the second half of this century
