Hi everyone,
I am looking for novels that have at least three characteristics in common:
1. all facts are very accurate, based on research of the author (e.g. the author has been inside the Vatican Secret Archives, so disputable and historic nonsense novels!)
2. they blend high tech with historic elements (e.g. Baroque Vatican with time travel)
3. they build a Utopian state (e.g. a Paradeisos based on Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedi). See also Archeologies of the Future of Frederic Jameson.
I know only two novels doing this very successful:
The last Cato by Matilde Asensi www.amazon.com/Last-Cato-Novel-Matilde-Asensi/dp/0060828587 (only paperback and hard cover).
and
The Day Time was Hacked by Carel Mackenbach www.amazon.com/Day-Time-was-Hacked-ebook/dp/B00375LIF6 (ebook and paperback)
