Erasmo Acosta

Erasmo Acosta was born in Cantaura, a small town in Venezuela, and moved to the United States in 1996 to pursue a software engineering career sponsored by a small Silicon Valley company. He retired to Portland, Oregon, in 2020 after achieving 32 successful years in the industry. In 2015, he became interested in the implications of the Fermi Paradox to the prospects of finding another civilization in the Local Group. Further research into Futurism, upcoming technologies, and the works of American physicist Gerard O’Neill led him to write K3+.

The dystopian novel explores a massive human migration to space colonies triggered by inequality and climate change. Based on current technologies, K3+ establishes a roadmap to survive our current dystopia and build a post-scarcity utopia free from human exploitation.
