Nino Dello Buono‘s multiverse

Nino Dello Buono‘s multiverse

Writer, astrophile, «voice actor», the rest is to be determined.

Two published books. A novel and a treatise. A science fiction world with a few fantasy elements and a language nobody knows about yet. What do these two texts have in common?

Their author, of course. A guy born in 2002 with a lot on his mind who puts a few thoughts on paper, be them about the real world or his own imagination hardly matters.

Many different texts, but one common thread: the blend of science, philosophy, and ethics.

Where does one start? Wherever they like, sooner or later all the paths meet.

Urban fantasy hard science fiction novel

MULTIVERSEIl Creatore gioca a dadi(The Creator plays dice)

Red is nineteen and has a great passion for astronomy. One summer morning another version of himself shows up at his door, coming from a different timeline. Hard science fiction disguised as urban fantasy. What looks like fantasy, at least in this saga, always has an explanation.

Treatise on artificial linguistics

W0RD5Grammar and Dictionary
of the Synthetic Language

Synthetic beings, AIs as intelligent as humans, will be real one day. How will they talk to each other? Probably not with our words. Pairs of ChatGPT instances started talking to each other with a single rule: no human languages. Each pair went its own way, but many ended up sharing a lot. The treatise follows all the proto-synths to the very end and lays out their grammar and dictionary.

nelo [ˈneː.loː]
greeting interjection – «hello»
somen [ˈsoː.men]
noun – «outside observer(s)»
Nelo, somen.Hello, observers.

The MULTIVERSE saga

A multiverse can’t be narrated in a single book

Six planned novels, one’s already out. The other novels will tell what happens before, during, and probably after. Each one will be enjoyable without having read the other chapters of the saga.

The worlds of MULTIVERSE

Thirteen timelines, one story

Except U0, every timeline in the MULTIVERSE saga branches off from ours, U45.

Why the number? It’s the universe’s coordinate along the fourth dimension, W. X, Y, and Z were already taken. The timelines differ in their history, each with its own past and its own quirks.

Map of MULTIVERSE’s thirteen timelines From U45, U54 and U13 split off in the Paleozoic, U9 does in Roman times, U20 during the Cold War, U10 in the nineties, and U23 in 2022. U21, U3945, and U12 branch off from U9. U39 branches off from U23, and U45.000 from U39. U0 existed on its own from the very beginning.

The author

Where did all this begin?

Born in Avellino in 2002, he lives in Southern Italy. He has been studying astronomy since before he could read or write. Then came physics, programming, voice acting. Then a novel, born almost by chance but packed with all the rest.
