About the Author
Year Zero comes from 2022, during the years when over 1,500 books had no platform. Amazon had shut the door. Draft2Digital said they were "a small company for small authors." The writing never stopped — Atharva was 25 and still producing science fiction work with no clear path to publication. Science fiction accounts for 25 books in the catalog, exploring futures and alternate realities from an author whose own reality has been stranger than most fiction.
