2125, the hibernator

The year is 2125. Max Bloemendaal emerges from the Coma Superviviente, an experimental artificial hibernation, into a world that feels both alien and strangely familiar. Though his body has barely aged, humanity has been reshaped by a century of upheaval: collapsing ecosystems, pandemics, and conflict — but also unexpected renewal.

For Max, the future is not just a backdrop but a personal battleground. He resumes the quest he was forced to abandon a hundred years earlier: uncovering who was behind the disappearance of his wife, Felice Ricci, a physicist and activist. In his search, he navigates a fractured yet evolving society — one that has learned to adapt in surprising ways.

The Hybernator blends speculative fiction with a thriller’s suspense. It confronts questions of inequality, resilience, and ecological survival, but resists pure dystopia. Instead, it embraces the rising trend of “hopepunk”: fiction that acknowledges crisis yet insists on possibility.

Commercially, the novel stands out in the growing cli-fi market. It will appeal to international readers of Kim Stanley Robinson, Margaret Atwood, and other authors who merge sharp storytelling with urgent social themes. Its cinematic atmosphere and universal storyline open doors for adaptation to film, series, or podcasts.

More than a novel, 2125 is a vision: a call to imagine that even after collapse, humanity can rebuild with courage, justice, and imagination. It is as much about the future of the planet as it is about one man’s search for truth and love.
