Wireless Wonder Stories
Wireless Wonder Stories..
is a dazzling mash-up of history, romance, and speculative adventure, where the power of music fuels invention, destiny, and love across centuries.
The tale begins in Victorian England, where the visionary mathematician Ada Lovelace, daughter of the infamous Lord Byron, finds inspiration in the intricate and divine counterpoint of Johann Sebastian Bach. Obsessed with the notion that numbers and harmonies are one and the same, Ada designs an audacious invention: a musical automaton – The Viator - capable of composing and performing music through mechanical intelligence. She believes it will prove her radical idea that machines can create art.
But the first performance ends in disaster. The automaton malfunctions, producing a screeching, terrifying dissonance instead of divine harmony. Mocked by society and haunted by her failure, Ada abandons the device. Seeking reinvention, she travels to Russia, only to meet a cruel fate - an accident leaves her tumbling into a deep crevasse, where she becomes frozen in ice, preserved in timeless suspension for a century.
In 1947, a struggling London stage actor Victor Charnwood lands the starring role in a Hollywood Sci-Fi matinee for children: Video Victor of The Satellite Commandos. During filming, a bizarre accident occurs: a freak electrical theremin surge fuses Victor’s body with Ada’s long-forgotten, inanimate automaton, cobwebbed and languishing in the Los Angeles sound stage props department. He awakens to find himself bizarrely transported and transformed into Victor the Robot, a strange hybrid of man and mechanism, his humanity buried beneath metal gears and resonant circuits. Marooned in Quantum Exile, VTR fashions a time ship and fires electrical signals through the void – in a valiant attempt to reach Earth.
Consequently, VTR makes contact with Leon Theremin, the eccentric Russian inventor of the otherworldly instrument that bears his name - sound and vibration might unlock Victor’s hidden potential. Nikola Tesla, aging but still brilliant, sees in Victor the fulfilment of his dream of wireless resonance and free energy. But looming behind every opportunity is Thomas Edison, here portrayed as a ruthless opportunist, eager to exploit Victor’s abilities for profit and power.
Meanwhile, in the 1960s, Ada’s frozen body is recovered from the permafrost and miraculously revived. To the astonishment of history, she is trained by the Soviet space programme in Space City, as part of the Cosmonaut Corps. Gifted with a second chance at life, Ada is to become the first woman on the moon, a symbol of scientific progress and human tenacity.
But the Moonshot goes wildly off-trajectory – and Ada’s rocket lands on Mars, where she and Victor finally cross paths. Their bond is immediate yet complicated. Victor, trapped in his robotic form, yearns for his lost humanity. Ada, reborn in a new century, catapulted to the Red Planet, struggles with the weight of destiny. Together, they discover that their fates are entangled not just by accident but by a larger conflict - one orchestrated by the Space Queen of Atlantis, an immortal tyrant manipulating time itself.
As they battle across centuries, Ada and Victor’s romance blossoms into a beacon of hope. Against impossible odds, Victor slowly regains his humanity, and their love becomes a bridge across time, art, and invention.
But in the final twist, it is revealed that the Space Queen of Atlantis is none other than an alternate future version of Ada herself, corrupted by endless power, torment and bitterness. In defeating her, the lovers must decide whether to preserve the timeline - or risk erasing themselves entirely to give the world a better Future.
Wireless Wonder Stories is at once a romance, a time-travelling adventure, and a meditation on love, creativity, and the fine line between destruction and invention.
