IRVINE, Calif. - Californer -- Sam Sammane's Fiction Career Reaches New Milestone with Literary Titan Book Award for 'Republic of Mars'
Dr. Sam Sammane, founder of ethical AI firm TheoSym, has earned thehttps://literarytitan.com/2025/07/07/literary-t... Award for his debut novel Republic of Mars, marking a new milestone in his literary journey. Known for his nonfiction work The Singularity of Hope, Sammane transitions into fiction with a thought-provoking psychological mystery set in a Martian colony where memory is erased and control is silent. Released in May 2025, the novel explores deep themes of autonomy, identity, and engineered peace—earning acclaim for its sparse style and philosophical depth. It was also a finalist in the 2025 American Fiction Awards (Sci-Fi: Post-Apocalyptic). Rather than action, Republic of Mars offers haunting tension, echoing Sammane's continued focus on human agency in hyper-optimized societies. The book debuted as a bestseller in Amazon's Mystery & Solar System categories. With this recognition, Sammane cements his place in both the science and literary worlds. The novel is available in Kindle, paperback, and hardcover.
