Atadia Novel & Lore
Last updated

Originally, Atadia was published in Thailand by our Founder as a hybrid book (half fiction, half nonfiction) about how to use data technologies like blockchain, artificial intelligence, and big data analytics more effectively AND more collectively.
We translated the fiction part into English and added all the Web3 & Solana culture flavors to it in the Genesis Edition.
At the core, the novel is all about struggles as the world transitions to Web3 and AGI. The novel explores the following competing forces that determine how data technologies are developed and used by humans.
Centralized vs. Decentralized.
Control vs. Freedom
Public vs. Private
Fate vs. Free will
Human condition vs. AI
Efficiency vs. Equity
It is the year 2054. Atadia is a society built around data-driven algorithms that promise to streamline humanity and bring prosperity to the masses. However, this dream quickly evaporated following the rise of popular autocrat Detha, who championed extreme centralization, turned the city’s algorithms against its citizens and carved the ex-utopia into a surveillance state. In Detha’s Atadia, algorithms followed people’s every move, listened in on their private conversations, and persecuted protestors with devastating efficiency. The Lost City of Atadia is the tale of popular dissent and grassroots resistance to centralized tyranny—the story of a group called “The Protectors,” whose members fought to free Atadia from oppression and renegotiate humanity’s relationship with technology on humanity’s own terms.

“A thoughtful and beautifully written story that uses a dystopian future soaked in the brine of too much technology as a perfect counterpoint to express that what really matters is each other.”
“Data is a powerful tool and the story of Atadia shows the potential dangers of centralizing this vast information. A heartwarming story that brings in cultural references from our decentralized ecosystem. Entertaining, thoughtful, and engaging!”
