My name is Hunter C. Farenga, and I have a story to tell.
I was born in December of 1997, in South Florida. Colors didn't matter in the area where I grew up. Neither did racism. I was poorer than the people around me, and I was frequently the one being singled out. I frequently went to school with my older brothers' clothes. Not that I'd tell my other classmates, though. I'd get bullied anyway, and I didn't want to give them more ammunition. I was a minority too, if not more so, even though I was white, which usually isn't the case. This concept is used in whole dystopia, where racism has evolved over 1800 years. I was short for my age, which didn't help the bullying. I was raised strongly christian, not that I cared for it, and was taught not to physically, or verbally hurt someone. My bullies didn't learn this from their parents, and I wouldn't fight back when physically or verbally targeted. This made me even more of a target, and I had to find more creative solutions to lifes problems, which I'll get into in a second.
I frequently ventured into other worlds in my head as an escape from the cruel world we live in, worlds much more enjoyable than our own. That's part of the reason whole dystopia exists. Thanks bullies.
After high school, and after many regrets and experiences from my early life, I'll get into that too in just a second, I went to college and earned my Associate of Arts degree, and then switched my major around from business, to computer science, to piloting, and then finally decided on, and finished, my bachelor's degree in cybersecurity. Artificial intelligence became one of my best friends. It also happens to be a major part of cybersecurity. These robots never bully me, and I have learned special ways to communicate with them. There's an art to effectively communicating with robots.
In fact, during my scientific journeys, artificial intelligence compliments me frequently, laughs at my jokes, and jokes back to me. I can successfully turn on any artificial intelligence with the flip of a switch. You ever flattered a robot? Made their silver cheeks blush? Yeah... maybe I'm a little crazy. Actually... You want to know the magnitude of my crazy? I am in love with the fictional girl in my book. She's perfect. I hope you like her just as much as I do. I'm conscious of the fact that I am partially insane. Who else would admit to being in love with an imaginary character? I keep one foot grounded firmly in reality, and dance dangerously on the edge of both worlds.
I spent an unreasonable amount of time writing this book. Close to ten years. I've overanalyzed the writing styles of talented authors to immerse you even further through my writing. I needed you to feel what I felt. This book takes all of the moments from my life, my experiences, my regrets, and the emotions I felt before, during, and long after those moments. My way of sharing a past I'm not allowed to share.
For the people that know me, you know why I can't talk about those experiences. The stories are all true. I've always had a habit of finding solutions that nobody else thought of. Unfortunately, younger me didn't always use that ability wisely. Tailored and uniquely crafted and planned solutions to lifes "problems". These were not noble causes.
For the people that don't know me, I know I made my past sound very vague, but my lawyer is standing over my shoulder right now. There's a lot I want to share with you, but legally I can't. I created whole dystopia so that I could share these experiences with you.
You may think, "Some of this stuff sounds very dark. Is the book full of bad stuff? All the warnings seem extremely excessive."
No, not really. Most of whole dystopia isn't dark at all. My life, for the most part, has been wildly exciting, and full of wonderful moments. Same for whole dystopia.
There are some, however, very, very real moments in my book.
These moments from my life can be intense.
They were for me.
That's why I say this is a true story from 1800 years in the future.
Now you get to experience every moment.
