Sir David Attenborough once said,
“It seems that, however grave our mistakes, nature will be able to overcome them, given the chance.”

It’s a statement that holds both a warning and a promise: if we step back and change course, the natural world can heal.
We see this in abandoned cities where wildlife returns — perhaps most strikingly in Chernobyl, where, despite lingering radiation, animals have flourished in the absence of human interference. Wolves, boars, lynx, deer, and even the rare Przewalski’s horse now roam freely through the exclusion zone. Nature is resilient — and ready — if we give it the space.
So what would our planet actually look like if we truly changed our ways — before it’s too late?
This is the question at the heart of Waking Up, a new novel that dares to imagine a future where humanity has evolved beyond money, competition, and exploitation. In this world, ecosystems are thriving, human values are transformed, and the scars of the past are slowly fading — not through utopian fantasy, but through believable change and global awakening.
Unlike the dystopias we’re used to, Waking Up offers a grounded, hopeful vision of a world reborn — not perfect, but possible.
