From 36,000 feet in the air to the depths of future dystopian worlds, Nicholas Keating-Casbarro shares the incredible journey of creating his sci-fi franchise, Vitalerium – Descent into the Void.

• Writing a sci-fi novel during countless flight hours while working in medical devices

• Building an extensive story bible with a 40-tab Excel document detailing planets, societies, and technologies
• Drawing inspiration from sci-fi classics like Dune and Isaac Asimov while maintaining a unique voice
• Using sleep paralysis experiences as source material for the book's dream sequences
• Creating character-driven sci-fi that appeals beyond traditional genre fans
• How metal music and dark electronic playlists shaped the cyberpunk atmosphere of the story
• Expanding beyond books into comics, with plans for animation, film, and video games
