The Moving Type

by Devika Sharma

Overview

It was hard to imagine that the post-apocalyptic world that only existed in the movies had suddenly become reality in the city of Matana. With the Budlyt-19 virus continuing to spread, leading pharmaceutical companies battle for the antidote and the wealth they would be rewarded with in return. Little did Nadia know she would unwillingly be entangled in the pharmaceutical corruption of LithLabs after receiving cryptic messages from an anonymous source. Taken against her own will, Nadia becomes the test subject of a gruelling medical trial and is injected with a deep purple dose of Budlyt-19. Friends turn to foes, loyalty turns to betrayal, and antidote turns to obsession in a capitalist pursuit of Matana. Will Nadia ever escape the hands of corruption? Or will the color purple stay true to its meaning of wealth, power, and ambition for the corrupt? The Moving Type has achieved a milestone as the official World Record holder for the most contributions to a published work of fiction. Unique in storyline and creation, this book project was written and illustrated by over 100 contributors from around the globe. Created in the midst of a global pandemic, the strongest chapters were born from the toughest times. Devika Sharma, creator of The Moving Type.

About the Author

Devika Sharma, Project co-ordinator of The Moving Type resides in Dubai as a marketing professional, "The strongest chapters are born from the toughest times. In the midst of a pandemic, it was incredible to connect with complete strangers from all over the world who couldn't be more different from each other, and yet, here we were creating a beautiful little cocoon that we could escape to by just doing what brings us unparalleled happiness and purpose. Each chapter carries its own style, its own agenda, its own voice. Even if there wasn't a big heading separating each chapter, you would immediately be able to tell that a new writer has begun working on the story."
