About the Maxwell Empire Books
The year is 4576.
All work is done by robots.
Humans number only 2 billion.
Humans live on the Earth, in Space City, and in the Moon.
Robots are taking all Earth species still existing to other planets.
Maxwell 01 is the first planet in the process of becoming another Earth.
Maxwell 01 is about four light years away. It took the robospaceship about eight hundred years to get there.
The robospaceship was built in Space City which circles the Earth above the equator at a height of over 35,000km.
Read what the humans and robots are doing on the Earth, in Space City, in and on the Moon and on and around Maxwell 01 in the Maxwell Empire Books.

Travel Stories
Stories and photos of travel in Australia and overseas.
It does not matter whether you are 7 or 70 there are things you would like to know more about. You need to keep your brain engaged from a young age to ensure that it works as well as possible when you are older. We can help you investigate your interests more fully.
Lots of things here you can learn about.
Work, rest or play
It might be learning about English writers of renown in England such as Wordsworth when you visit the Lakes District in the UK, Ned Kelly country in Victoria and New South Wales in Australia, apartment blocks to combat urban sprawl as seen in South Korea, or aquaculture in Thailand to feed the world's increasing population, but any of them will be worthwhile if it causes your brain to tick over more.
If you want to interact more with the locals you can volunteer to improve their English, like you can in Nong Khai in Thailand. This way you get to experience a different culture, meet new friends, and help people who need it.
Do you want to help people in Nong Khai in Thailand to improve their English?
Do you want to have an authentic experience of Thai culture and family life? Volunteer in Nong Khai.
In September/October you can see the boat races on the Mekong like the paddlers below.
Exercises to help others speak English
If you are going to volunteer to assist Thai people to speak English there are a large number of exercises you can use on this website. Note that they are copyright.
