Check out MAYA Collector's Edition Novel Trilogy. Signed and Numbered. by Anand Gandhi on Kickstarter kickstarter.com/projects/74174…

We created Maya over four years of rigorous worldbuilding, debating every idea, chiseling every word with intention and precision. It’s now been born with incredible love from the community. We raised 413,072 USD!

In Maya, we’ve imagined garudas who “feel” north and naags who see heat, and wondered how would that inform their sense of time and causality? And how these cognitive shortcuts grow into language, law, and architecture. We have wondered what Anil Seth will have to say about it
