L. Z. D�in and the works made available under this name were born from the need to cast a light on the journey we human beings are traveling on this Earth. Science, religion, history, philosophy, art and education, regardless of their advances, do little to illuminate the path through Time and Space we started traveling in a distant past and that will take us to a distant future. We have arrived, however, at a moment in our history when we are ready to face that journey and add the weight of our will power, of our creative capacities and of our love to make it joyful, easier, more productive, and closer to the intended goal - instead of all the pain, suffering, and trial and error we have endured until now. Most of the works penned by L. Z. D�in, though not all, are in the form of storytelling in the genre of Science Fiction - more specifically, in the sub-genre of Visionary Science Fiction. There is a reason for this choice: In Science Fiction, even though this genre pushes the boundaries of our understanding and of our sciences towards greater horizons, most times the imagined future of scientific and technological advances, and of social and environmental changes, is nothing more than a transplant into that imagined future of our present psychological and social situation on Earth, and of the challenges we face today. Visionary Science Fiction seeks to avoid that. In storytelling of this nature, not just the scientific and technological advances are pushed to greater and positive horizons, but the natural world and human beings themselves - their psychology, their understanding of themselves, and their development and lives - are also envisioned in greater heights than those achieved so far.
