WHAT IS THE PRICE OF THE STARS

The Universe: Vast. Expansive. Thrilling. 

Earth: Gorgeous. Unique. Finite. 

And between them? 

The Decision.

I'm Liam Kerr, a 17-year-old in 2293. Following the nuclear wars, we developed neural implants for instant knowledge downloads, and Earth became a perfectly balanced ecosystem meeting every need.

Sounds like paradise? It is—but there's a price. To prevent overpopulation, every 18-year-old faces 

The Decision:

• Upload your consciousness into an emotionless droid, gaining immortality and access to infinite cosmic wonders? 

• Or stay on Earth—feel love, joy, connection—but die at 60 in the mandatory Cull?

It's a one-time choice. No take-backs. After 18, your neurons lose flexibility for late-stage downloads. It’s the question that divides society: Human or Android? Earth or Stars? Emotion or Exploration?

I thought I knew my answer. Stay. Live with Brooke, my girlfriend. Build a life. But then I started dreaming of speed racing across alien worlds like my hero Larkin Downey, champion racer, who made The Decision and never looked back.

I've got 12 months to choose. Come along as I try to answer the biggest question of my life:

What is the Price of the Stars?
