Celebrate diversity by imaging a world without it.
Earth
In the second book of the Look 'N Up Series, the green-skinned royal family of the tiny world of Nauve remain hidden on Earth for a second three-year cycle. Baput has ascended to Akash. At home, he would be the unquestioned ruler of the world. On Earth, his only subjects are his parents and uncle. Whenever he practices his meditation ritual, the internet floods his mind. Obsessed with this unlimited source of new knowledge, he searches for ways to revitalize his stagnant culture, if he can ever get home. But his naïve idealism is no match for the rising tide of racial and political unrest in the years leading up to the global Covid pandemic.
Nauve
It's been three years since the royal Akash mysteriously disappeared, along with all of his knowledge and his bloodline, including his successor, Baput. The peoples' faith is fractured, but they still don't question their ancient ways. Men are born into their castes and professions. Women live only to serve their needs and bear their children. There is no other way, and nowhere else to go.
Marriages are arranged by Akira, the women's leader, according to her Breeding Matrix. It's not working. More and more babies are being born with disabilities. Nauve's single race is doomed by their lack of diversity, and there's nothing she can do to stop it.
