Good news. Starting January 20, 2026, Amazon allows DRM‑free Kindle books to be downloaded as EPUB or PDF. I’ve chosen to make Waking Up – A Journey Towards a New Dawn for Humanity DRM‑free — which means you can buy it on Amazon and read it on any device you like.
This is a small technical change with a big human consequence: platform independence.

What Waking Up is about (briefly)
Waking Up is a visionary novel about a man who wakes up a hundred years in the future — in a world that has solved some of humanity’s most persistent problems.
There is no war.
There is no hunger.
There is no extreme poverty.
And the planet is finally being healed instead of exploited.
Humanity hasn’t become perfect. People are still human. But fear is no longer the driving force behind society, and cooperation has replaced competition as the default way of living.
To achieve all of this, humanity had to replace what turned out to be the root cause behind many of these problems: the monetary system.
For Benjamin Michaels — a billionaire who was frozen in our time and wakes up in this future — this new world comes as a profound shock. Everything he once took for granted has vanished. And through his eyes, the reader is invited to explore not just what changed, but why.
The story doesn’t ask whether a better world is possible — it explores what it might actually look like once we get there.

Why I chose DRM‑free
Most e‑books today are sold with restrictions. You don’t really own them — you rent access inside a platform.
I chose a different path.
I believe in respect over restriction. Most readers don’t need to be controlled. They deserve to be trusted. And a book that explores a future built on trust shouldn’t be locked behind digital handcuffs.
By removing DRM, the Kindle edition becomes platform‑independent:
• Buy the book on Amazon – Choose Kindle.
• Download it as EPUB or PDF
• Read it on Kindle, Kobo, tablet, phone, computer — any device
• Keep a personal backup
• No lock‑in
One purchase. Full freedom.

A word about sharing
Yes — DRM-free means the file can be shared.
I’m comfortable with that.
Stories — and ideas — have always travelled by being shared. If you pass the book on to someone and it resonates with them, I simply ask that you encourage them to buy their own copy as well, so the circle can continue and the work can reach further.
After all, the e-book is just $4.99 — less than a coffee in many places — and every purchase helps the story travel further.
That’s not control. That’s mutual respect.

A small step toward the world the book imagines
Waking Up explores a future where fear‑based control systems no longer define how we live. Making the book DRM‑free doesn’t change the world — but it does quietly practice the values the story speaks about.
Buy it on Amazon. Read it anywhere.
