Alfredo Hector Zacarias Explores Greed Science and Humanity in the Science Fiction Novel MIDAS
Los Angeles, CA - Acclaimed writer, producer, director, and attorney Alfredo Hector Zacarias, whose books appear under the name A.H. Zacarias, presents MIDAS , a science fiction novel that blends imagination, philosophical inquiry, and timeless moral questions. Inspired by dreams and guided by a lifelong passion for storytelling, MIDAS challenges readers to reflect on the cost of human ambition and the value of life itself.
About the Book
MIDAS is a work of speculative science fiction rooted in curiosity, creativity, and fantasy. The story weaves together scientific possibilities, clues, and imaginative storytelling with a single goal: to entertain. Zacarias views storytelling as a sacred pact between writer and reader, likening his role to Scheherazade from One Thousand and One Nights , tasked with captivating the audience and never allowing boredom to take hold.
At the heart of the novel lies a provocative question that has echoed through history: What if gold could truly be created? Drawing inspiration from the ancient myth of King Midas and the centuries-long pursuit of alchemy, MIDAS explores what happens when modern science confronts humanity's oldest obsession.
Central Theme and Message
The novel delivers a powerful and unmistakable message:
"No amount of gold is worth a human life."
This principle, described as the first tenet of "The Golden Manifesto," anchors the story's moral foundation and serves as a reminder that progress without conscience can lead to devastating consequences.
What Inspired the Story
The idea for MIDAS emerged from a dream in which the main character, Brooke, revealed the story to the author. Originally envisioned as a screenplay, the narrative grew beyond its initial scope and evolved into a novel, with the potential to one day become a television series.
Zacarias draws from the myth of Midas, punished for his greed after turning his daughter into gold, as well as the centuries-old failures of alchemists who sought to transform iron into gold. The novel asks a daring modern question: What if a scientist finally succeeded?
