From the marble halls of Augustan Rome to the quantum servers of a posthuman galaxy, Ovid Unbound resurrects the ancient poet Publius Ovidius Naso as the beating heart of Western civilization's most explosive debates. Read about how a banished Roman wordsmith became the patron saint of rebels, lovers, and AIs-and why his DNA is coded into humanity's past, present, and infinite futures.

This book is for anyone who's ever felt like an outsider, anyone who's wielded art as a weapon, and anyone who's wondered what survives when empires crumble. It's a celebration of chaos, a middle finger to authoritarianism, and a testament to the eternal truth of Ovid's closing prophecy: "Wherever Rome's power extends... I shall live."

Two millennia later, Rome is the universe. And Ovid? He's just getting started.
