"...I would recommend the book to anyone who’s seen or listened to the opera. Additionally, because this book was staged first, it’s an interesting study in differing ways of storytelling — music versus music-and-video versus book versus book-and-music...After all, there aren’t very many sci-fi operas — at least, not ones that aren’t treated as a joke. Libertaria: Genesis is dystopian, and good at it, and that needs further examination." - Josh Roseman, Author The ClockWork Russian and Other Stories

Libertaria is not your typical fourteen-year old. Raised in a Genetics Factory she's never celebrated a birthday, had a BFF, or even had a first crush.

But she can melt your brain with a single glance!

In a post-apocalyptic dystopia Libertaria teams up with her megalomaniac drug addict father to destroy evil Reverse-Aging geneticists with a ragtag robot army of cyborg misfits. In a dystopian world of secrets and mad geneticists Libertaria learns that sometimes to save the world you must first lose your soul!

Based on the "groundbreaking" and "epic" film Libertaria: The Virtual Opera by award-winning composer and media artist Sabrina Pena Young.

“One of my favorite things about this story is its odd apocalyptic tone and strong sci-fi/fantasy foundation. The dark quality that comes with it is the cherry on top.” –FanboysAnonymous.com on Libertaria: The Virtual Opera

Find a Great Dramatic Story You need a strong story to write a compelling opera. Fortunately you can easily borrow from thousands of public domain works and modernize them. Think of West Side Story (just a contemporary version of Shakespear's Romeo and Juliet) . Many great operas use Shakespeare, the Brothers Grimm , and Biblical stories, all of which include interesting characters, strong themes, and action. Libertaria borrows heavily from messianic stories, but is se
