Every day is already written. Find out — by whom. That's the tagline of JOHN'S PARADOX — the sci-fi thriller duology I wrote, now in development as a one-hour TV series. This trailer is for Book Two, fresh from the edit — sharing it with this community first. The premise: Every night, while the world sleeps, a hidden council loads a ready-made script for tomorrow into every mind on Earth — and people wake up and live it, none the wiser. A burned-out Boston broker is the glitch: his own sleep hurls him to a random point on the planet — no money, no papers, no explanation. The one man outside their script may be the only one who can rewrite it. Where the project stands: both novels are finished (English translations complete), the one-hour pilot is written, and the full pitch package is ready. Comps: Severance, Manifest, Dark Matter. I'd love an honest take from this community — does the world pull you in? And if you produce or rep grounded high-concept sci-fi, my inbox is open.
