“2921” is a book is story set both in the past and the future.
It includes the original 30+ “chapters” of “2X21”, and subsequent installments, “seasons” of the book, written in 30 day sprints, “1648”, “1961”, and “1987”.
When “1999” is completed, it will be included.
Most of the 250+ chapters can be read as stand-alone vignettes of history and fiction, and they are shared below in the evolving chronology of the story.
When the first 30 chapters of the story was written, it was called “2X21”, to imply that the story was in the future but without a specific century in mind.
As the work grew, it was necessary to update the title to “2921”.
First Chapter
