My book is set in a futuristic, infinite dimensional version of the universe and Earth. ALL of the characters mentioned in the story (Even the average person) are at least infinite dimensional. I’ve taken a lot of inspiration from comic books, action anime, Gnosticism, and the Matrix for this concept. In my writing, everything is a version of our world, just on a larger, super three dimensional scale (also in terms of time, etc). I think merely describing it as merely as a macro cosmic version of our own universe should be the easiest way of describing this infinitely larger universe, as opposed to actually trying to describe extra dimensions.
One might argue this is hard to imagine since we don’t know what extra dimensions look like, etc. However, no one really knows what an advanced alien civilization should look like and fantasy realms are fictional, yet we imagine them anyway.
Please note my writing is definitely not hard science fiction. It’s more of a fantastical take on higher dimensions. It’s science fantasy where magic and technology coexist. There are also rules, limitations and some very powerful antagonists in place to keep people relatable and from being too overpowered (the Matrix influence also figures into this).
My question is, if someone else tried to write a similar story and setting, what might they do differently? Thanks so much in advance.
