About DREAM LOOP The Awakening By Emiliano Poloni
Jo awakens trapped in traffic on a suspended bridge in the Italian mountains in August. He doesn’t remember how he got there, yet something about the landscape feels hauntingly familiar.
An encounter with a disturbing bald man bearing a zero drawn on his forehead pulls him into an irreversible spiral: the Dream Loop, a simulated reality where the crew of the Key York — a massive starship launched twenty-five years earlier toward the outer reaches of the solar system — remain unknowingly imprisoned.
Jo soon discovers he is a clone: a three-hundred-year-old consciousness uploaded during an experiment while he was still on vacation with his family. The other crew members are recent copies; their originals may still be alive somewhere on Earth or on the Moon.
Aboard the ship, the central AI has fallen silent, the designated commander is unstable, and an autonomous intelligence is searching for a human body to escape the simulation.
Clones, artificial intelligence, alien spores, sentient machines, implanted memories, and fractured identities intertwine in a story that explores origin, free will, and the possibility of rebirth.
Dream Loop is a psychological, ensemble-driven science fiction novel that weaves consciousness, bioethics, trauma, and simulated reality into an intense, visionary narrative filled with unexpected twists.
Now available in the US: Dream Loop – The Awakening for only $2.99. Limited time.

Author Bio:
Emiliano Poloni is an Italian science fiction writer.
He is a husband, a father, and a pilot. He grew up in a small town in the plains near Bergamo, where as a child he would watch airplane contrails crossing the sky, wondering what it must feel like, up there, to look down at the world from above. At sixteen he left home to pursue flight, beginning a long and far from linear path that first led him into the Italian Air Force and later into commercial aviation. Today he flies large aircraft, in environments where responsibility, control, and human error are not abstract ideas, but part of everyday life.
Writing has always accompanied him. Whenever he imagines a story, it inevitably drifts toward the fantastic and the supernatural. Science fiction becomes the most natural language through which to give shape to his imagination and to question consciousness, identity, and the consequences of choice. Not as an escape, but as a narrative space where deeply human questions can be taken to their extreme.
From this need was born EP Stories, the narrative universe through which he develops stories that share the same worldview, even as characters and settings change. A creative container designed to tell stories in which choices carry real weight and consequences cannot be avoided.
With Dream Loop, Emiliano Poloni gives full form to this path, opening a narrative project intended to expand over time.
