BioDigital Novels

Speculative Fiction Saga

The flagship literary project of Resource Forge LLC—a speculative fiction saga that fuses techno-thriller tension, sci-fi futurism, and philosophical dystopia. Set in a world where perception has been digitized and reality itself is mediated by algorithmic overlays, the series explores what it means to remain human in the face of collapsing sensory truth.

  • Immersive character arcs and world-building
  • Themes of consciousness and digital control
  • Literary precision with philosophical depth

About Resource Forge

Resource Forge LLC is a micro-business founded in 2002 by Bart Niedner. Our roots are in building sites and systems for small businesses and not-for-profit organizations— organizations that need cost-effective solutions tailored to their specific needs.

Over two decades, we've evolved from custom backend development into creating our own digital products. Today, Resource Forge is home to innovative software that empowers writers and storytellers, while continuing to offer custom solutions for clients who need software that works the way their business actually operates.

We believe that out-of-the-box solutions often force you to change your business practices to fit software limitations. That's not a recipe for success. When you need something custom, we build what you want at a price you can afford.

What Our Clients Say

"Resource Forge is visionary with results. They implement ideas in a way that is simple, concise, and creative. You will never doubt that they understand your needs and wants."

— Melissa Borchardt, Dean of Enrollment Management, Ranken Technical College

"Resource Forge takes charge and presents creative ideas while communicating the benefits. Their creativity, resourcefulness, and ability to see a project through really make their work distinctive and successful."

— Austin Priest, Senior Application Developer, Mercy Hospital & Healthcare

"Resource Forge completely revamped our database and made it web-accessible, so that members across the country could keep their own information current. This was quite an undertaking, given the size of the membership (120,000) and the unique, multilayered structure of the Society. All this at bargain basement prices."

— Bob Duplantier, former National Director of Membership/Technology Services, Society of St. Vincent de Paul
