Hi Everyone,

Welcome to my fifth Sapien Loop Quiz. Sapien Loop is the title of my recently released ebook. I have published it on Amazon, links to all the relevant Amazon sites are provided in the signature of this post. Individual chapters are also available on my @captainhive account, as well as collections on this account.

I have had a great time putting these quizzes together. I am reasonably happy with the level and quality of participation. It is great to know there are people reading and liking this book. It is very different from my economics posts. I also believe this book is reasonably different from other fiction books. I would say the book does not firmly fit within one genre. It is a mixture of science fiction, fantasy, alien worlds, dystopian, utopian, thriller, and a light sprinkle of comedy.

The fifth quiz will be the first to include content from Part 3. That is a lot of ground to cover. To be reasonable, the quiz will run for ten days. That should give participants sufficient time to become familiar with Part 3.

How to Play

These quizzes are very simple to play. Participants are required to answer multiple-choice questions. Participants choose from five possible answers. The answers can be found in the book. Most questions are simple and direct. Occasionally, there will be a few difficult questions that require the participants to interpret characters intentions and emotions.

Sapien Loop consists of the Prologue, five parts, and the Epilogue. The first few quizzes focused on content from the Prologue and Part 1. The third and fourth quizzes have included content from Part 2. The fifth quiz includes content from Part 3. The remaining quizzes for the year will include content from all parts of the book. I suggest you start reading now.

How to Win

The winner is the participant who answers the most questions correctly. If there is a tie, the participant who entered first wins. In order to win, a participant must also answer more than half of the questions correctly. For example, if there are seven questions, the participant needs to answer at least four correctly to have a chance of winning. The fifth quiz consists of nine questions. Therefore, the winner needs to answer at least five questions correctly.

Prizes

The winner of this contest will receive 30 Hive Power. If this contest has no winner, the Hive Power will be rolled over to next month’s contest. The first twelve entries will receive an upvote.

My New Book, Sapien Loop

I have published an ebook on Amazon; it is titled ‘Sapien Loop: End of an Era’. The book is fiction. I do not normally write fiction. However, I felt it was appropriate considering what is happening in the world today. Freedom is the most important thing we have, but we are gradually losing it. I have covered this in many of my posts.

In the story, most citizens do not understand the concept of freedom because they have never really experienced it. In essence, the story is about an alien world that might represent our not-so-distant future. There are many other elements to the story that are an abstract and exaggerated version of our reality. I believe this book to be an important read, and I believe it has the potential to change the way you think.

Brief Summary of Sapien Lopp

This story is based on the fictional planet Sapia and its sole country, Sapey. Sapey is portrayed as a form of utopia for all its citizens. No poverty. No war. Almost no crime. Opportunities for all.

This was enough for most citizens, but not all. In one of the small regions, some of the citizens had become discontent. They felt something important was missing in their lives. Their discontent did not go unnoticed. Some of the Sapey elite wanted to weaponise this discontent to gain more power. This created more chaos than they anticipated. This led to further widespread social unrest.

On top of the chaos, ambition and greed provoked another enemy. This enemy was on a mission to settle both new and old scores.

If you want to buy a copy of the book, below are links to the relevant Amazon websites for each country it is available in. The book is priced at approximately US$5.08.
