Turn real war experiences into futures — help launch Paradox Nova
Paradox Nova is a docu-futuristic graphic novel trilogy in development, inspired by real stories from people who lived through the 2022 war in Ukraine and reimagined as an interplanetary invasion. Your support helps us bring this universe to life and build a self-funding engine for long-term recovery for people affected by war.
Our intention is to direct 100% of Paradox Nova’s net profits, once the books are published and selling, to Helping War Victims programs — including VR-based therapy and the Future Skills IT Academy for war-affected youth and veterans.
How the Paradox Nova model funds real help
Step 1 — Create
We create Invasion, the first book in a three-part graphic novel trilogy. It is based on real war experiences, told through a neutral sci-fi universe where an interplanetary invasion mirrors the chaos, choices, and solidarity of modern war — with composite characters and changed details to protect real people.
Step 2 — Earn
Step 3 — Fund
After covering essential production, printing, translations, and basic promotion, our intention is to direct 100% of Paradox Nova’s net profits to Helping War Victims programs — including VR Therapy and the Future Skills IT Academy — turning each volume sold into concrete support for war-affected people.
Implementation stages
Art that inspires — 3 books, 1 coherent universe, future-ready themes rooted in real experiences of war and resilience.
Revenue alongside donations — book and spin-off sales create a recurring income stream that complements, not replaces, traditional fundraising and grants.
Reinvest & scale — as Paradox Nova grows, we plan to reinvest profits into new content and into expanding VR-therapy and digital-education programs for war survivors.
Launch goal: €479,000 to prove a self-funding charity model
To produce and launch the full Paradox Nova trilogy, we estimate a total budget of €479,000. These funds cover writing, illustration, translations, premium copies, essential equipment, and international marketing needed to bring all three books to readers. The first volume, Invasion, opens the universe; subsequent parts deepen the characters and moral choices inspired by real events. Sales of the trilogy are intended to become a stable financial backbone for our long-term programs.
What your support unlocks
Future Skills IT Academy
-
In the future, profits and donations from Paradox Nova are intended to help launch our Future Skills IT Academy.
-
Planned free or scholarship-based online tracks in coding fundamentals, cybersecurity basics, digital art, and applied English for tech.
-
The goal is to move war-affected youth and disabled veterans from survival to opportunity, with portfolios, mentorship, and routes toward internships and first jobs.
-
A safe, moderated learning community designed for people whose education and careers were disrupted by war.
VR Therapy
-
A planned VR-based program co-designed with clinicians to complement medical and psychological care for war-affected people.
-
Focus on VR experiences that may help with phantom limb pain and some trauma-related symptoms, in line with emerging research into VR for pain and rehabilitation (always as an adjunct, not a replacement, for professional treatment).
-
Aim: support faster reintegration, better daily functioning, and moments of relief and agency for people living with the long-term consequences of war.
The real-life stories behind the trilogy
Every chapter of Invasion and the future installments of the Paradox Nova trilogy is rooted in real experiences of people who lived through the 2022 war in Ukraine and other modern conflicts. To protect them, we tell these stories through composite characters and a neutral sci-fi world: real emotions, real moral choices, but changed names, locations, and details.
By supporting Paradox Nova, you help turn these lived experiences into a powerful, respectful tool for change — one that funds concrete programs for war survivors instead of exploiting their trauma. We focus on universal human themes and avoid political endorsements, keeping the spotlight on people and their right to safety, dignity, and a future.
If we don’t reach €479,000, Paradox Nova cannot launch as planned — your gift gets us there faster
Our budget is built to fully fund the trilogy — writing, art, translations, premium copies, core equipment, and international marketing. Without reaching the €479,000 goal, we will not be able to produce and release Paradox Nova at the scale and quality needed to become a true self-funding engine for our programs. Every contribution closes this gap and brings the launch closer.
