In a groundbreaking move for science fiction enthusiasts, filmmaker Anand Gandhi and game designer Zain Memon have launched the 'Maya Narrative Universe.' This innovative project, which combines elements of science fiction, fantasy, and philosophy, opens new vistas across an array of mediums including films, games, novels, and immersive experiences.

The universe, a brainchild of the Department of Lore Inc, unfolds with the release of 'Maya: Seed Takes Root' on August 19. Set in a world where the biological network 'Maya' influences thoughts and actions, it presents a scenario where citizens connect daily to a dreamlike internet, uncovering desires and visions for the future.

Integral to this universe are the 'Divyas,' immortals who collect data to manipulate potential futures without using force. Maya's allure lies in its reflection of contemporary issues, revealing the invisible controls of digital life. Upcoming works promise a narrative interwoven by diverse perspectives, challenging the conventional hero-villain conflict and addressing modern-day dilemmas.
