DRAPER, Utah - s4story -- What if everything we experience—our memories, our relationships, even our understanding of the universe—exists inside a simulated reality?

In BASE: The Edge of Reality, science-fiction author Robert Adamson explores that possibility through an adventure combining romance, mysterious technology, and interstellar exploration.

The story begins along the breathtaking Na Pali Coast of Kauai, where young tour guide Skyler Anderson witnesses something impossible: a rainbow that defies the laws of nature.

His curiosity leads him into a secret world of scientists and software engineers developing revolutionary technology for interstellar travel. There, he meets Anchor, a brilliant astronomer whose relationship with Skyler becomes central to an extraordinary journey beyond Earth.

But the greatest mystery isn't waiting among the stars. It's hidden within reality itself.

Adamson imagines a future in which advanced computers allow people to experience entire lifetimes inside simulated worlds, choosing different places, eras, and identities. Yet one question remains unanswered: If reality can be simulated, how can anyone know which civilization created the first one?

That question drives the search for the original BASE Civilization, where the boundaries between technology, consciousness, and existence begin to dissolve.

The novel's inspiration has a personal connection to Kauai.

"I had a mystical experience while biking in Kauai," Adamson recalls. The island's extraordinary landscapes helped inspire a story that begins with a mysterious rainbow and ultimately questions the nature of existence itself.

Blending island romance with speculative science, BASE: The Edge of Reality invites readers to consider a possibility that challenges everything they believe about the world around them.

What if our reality is only one of countless worlds—and somewhere, someone knows where it all began?
