The Karman Line

Earth is not the beginning.
It's the gateway!

What Lies Beyond The Karman Line?

For centuries, humanity looked to the stars and saw only the vast, cold emptiness of space. We were wrong. The Karman Line isn't an ending—it's a doorway. When a newly discovered anomaly begins to warp the fabric of reality, Steve McVey is the only one who understands the truth: it's not a force of destruction, but a conscious invitation.Drawn into the Astraleon dimension of pure energy and thought, Steve and the teams of Ethereal Specialists must navigate a universe shaped not by physics, but by the spiritual energies of consciousness itself. Humanity isn't the only guest in this new reality, and the ancient minds within have a chilling agenda of their own.


Behind The Story

Jason Borbidge is a lifelong explorer of the cosmos and the inner workings of the human mind. He weaves together the threads of science and spirituality to create stories that question the very nature of our reality. When not writing, Jason can be found playing piano, writing music, or occasionally, you’ll find him grounding in the grass. "The Karman Line" is his second novel, posting the first of the series, "Hologram".

The Kármán Line: Earth's Official Edge 🌍
A recognized boundary of space, which sits 100 kilometers (about 62 miles) above sea level.
Let's break it down:The Intersect: A Hologram at the Kármán Line?This is where "Hologram: The Kármán Line" takes flight. What if these two profoundly different scientific ideas aren't disparate at all? What if the Kármán Line isn't merely an atmospheric boundary, but the very 2D surface from which our entire 3D world is projected into existence?Consider the implications:A Cosmic Screen: Could the edge of our atmosphere be the "screen" where the fundamental information of our reality is displayed?The Blueprint of Existence: If the Holographic Principle holds true, and if the Kármán Line is indeed this foundational surface, then humanity's greatest scientific endeavor—reaching space—takes on an entirely new, almost sacred, significance. Are we not just breaking through an atmospheric barrier, but touching the very canvas of creation?My book explores a world where this speculative link isn't just theoretical, but discoverable. It delves into how a civilization might uncover such a profound secret, and perhaps even learn to manipulate the very fabric of reality at this critical juncture between worlds.Join me as we journey to the Kármán Line, not just to observe the stars, but to question the very nature of our existence. Is our reality a profound illusion, generated at the very edge of our world?More Coming Soon...

The Man Behind the Universe:5 Keys to Understanding Steve McVeySteve McVey is the brilliant, troubled heart of the series Hologram. He's a man who can grasp the fundamental architecture of the universe but fumbles with the basics of his own life. To truly understand the story, you have to get inside his head. What makes him tick? What drives his obsession, and what are the secrets behind his incredible power?🔑 Key 1: The Primal Wound (The Death of His Parents)
At the core of every great obsession is a great wound. For Steve, that wound is the loss of his parents. This isn't just a tragic backstory; it's the engine of his entire existence. Their death left a void that he tries to fill with work, with discovery, and with a relentless drive to create something of cosmic significance.
The Karman Line project isn't just a scientific endeavor; it's a deeply personal quest. Subconsciously, Steve is trying to master the rules of a universe that he sees as chaotic and cruel. By understanding the "code" of reality, he hopes to find a sense of control and purpose that was stolen from him. This trauma is the source of his genius drive, but also his emotional immaturity and inability to cope with further loss.For Steve, his parents' death was a catastrophic system failure. It introduced a chaotic, unpredictable variable into the orderly world of a young genius. The trauma didn't just leave him with grief; it fundamentally altered his development.Intellectualizing Emotion: Faced with overwhelming emotional pain he couldn't process, Steve retreated into the one place he felt safe: his intellect. He learned to treat emotions like data points to be analyzed rather than feelings to be experienced. This is why he struggles in relationships and appears emotionally stunted. He never developed the tools to navigate his own heart, so he focused on navigating the universe instead.Survivor's Guilt as Fuel: A deep, often unspoken, survivor's guilt gnaws at him. He obsesses over the "why" and "what if" of the event. This guilt manifests as a relentless, almost punishing, work ethic. He feels an immense pressure to achieve something so monumental it can retroactively justify his survival. If he can change the world—or create a new one—then maybe his life, bought at the cost of theirs, will have been worth it.More Coming Soon...
