Through a Dreamer’s Lens: 1994
AJ Shetty has a secret.
Ideas appear in his mind that should not exist: a film scene from another world, a song nobody has written, a game concept decades ahead of its time.
Armed with these mysterious flashes of inspiration, AJ entered Hollywood in 1994. With no system, no powerful backing, and no shortcuts to success, he begins a journey from an unknown teenager to one of the most influential figures in entertainment.
As groundbreaking movies, music, and games reshape entire industries, AJ must navigate rivals, ambitious entrepreneurs, and the growing consequences of changing the world faster than it was ever meant to change.
And it all started with a debt he had to pay.

Author's Note:
My previous novel crossed 2.3 million words. If you're reading this synopsis, it means I haven't strangled this novel in the cradle. There is a very high chance this story will be serialised for at least a million words, so you can dive into AJ's journey without worrying too much about it being abandoned halfway through.
