Alpha1Media launches novel NANO on America’s 250th from birthplace of USA
Global media and entertainment firm Alpha1Media announced that its founder, Talal Malik, had in person officially launched the new novel, NANO on July 4, 2026, the 250th Anniversary of the founding of the USA from the birthplace of America.
NANO was launched at Independence Hall in Philadelphia, the precise historic location for the adoption of the U.S. Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, as well as the U.S. Constitution in 1787, on the special anniversary of the world’s contemporary superpower as a tribute to three global cultural milestones: firstly, the literary milestone of the Great American Novel, as represented by the 19th Century; secondly, the cinematic milestone of the Hollywood Blockbuster Movie and Screenplay, as represented by the 20th Century and thirdly, the innovative milestone of the Global IP Franchise as represented by the 21st Century.
“It is my great privilege and honour to formally launch NANO today on the 4th of July, 2026, America’s 250th,” said Talal Malik in the official video release of the launch, standing in front of Independence Hall in Philadelphia on the morning of the anniversary, new viewable on YouTube and all social media.
NANO, the first of the new Technopolis franchise series, is now available in paperback, hardback and e-book in two editions, the Global Edition and America’s 250th Editon, across all global platforms such as Amazon, Barnes & Nobles, Apple, Walmart, Rakuten Kobo, Bookshop.org, Strand Books, Ex-Libris, Thalia Tolino, Smashwords, Everand, Fable, Vivilio and many more.
The official video of NANO’s launch includes scenes shot on July 4th, 2026 such as: Downtown Philadelphia; 360 degrees towards Philadelphia City Hall on South Broad Street; Independence Square; NANO at Supreme Court Room; NANO at Assembly Hall, the heart of Independence Hall, and is the room where the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were signed; Talal Malik in front of Independence Hall; and Global and America’s 250th Editions in front of Independence Hall, and can be viewed on YouTube.
Prior to the launch, from June 30 to July 2, 2026, the first printed editions of NANO by Talal Malik from Alpha1Media were exclusively featured in the countdown to the book launch in front of the Empire State Building to Times Square in New York, then to the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago in tribute to thr Global IP of ‘Spider-Man’ and then to the iconic Rocky Steps in Philadelphia in tribute to the Global IP of ‘Rocky’ by Hollywood icon Sylvester Stallone in its 50th Anniversary year, which can be viewed on YouTube.
NANO is a global sci-fi techno-thriller about American world-class scientist Dr. Michael Faris, who is blackmailed into doomsday nanotechnology, but then he must race across the Middle East, China, and Russia to avert a global catastrophe – from the weapons he has helped to make.
Real readers of NANO have stated, “So I am not pulling back any punches, for I genuinely loved NANO,” and “What you have here is a classic, a perfect blend of ingredients to make it epic.”
The novel is adapted from Talal Malik’s original story and screenplay of the same name, co-written with Tamsin Astbury, with characters created by Alpha1Media. The screenplay is currently in advanced development as a global cinema release movie with a production budget of a major Hollywood blockbuster, having been featured at Cannes and Berlinale.
NANO has been envisaged as the innovative fusion of global geopolitics and science-fiction; balanced between the contemporary journalism of TIME and WIRED magazines and the best-selling thrillers of Tom Clancy and Michael Crichton; between real science fact, such as the White House’s National Nanotechnology Initiative, and global science fiction, as featured in Hollywood blockbuster movies such as Spider-Man, The Avengers and James Bond.
As part of Technopolis, the new exciting global franchise series exploring a near-future world reshaped by the metropolis city, technology, and the human impact of both, NANO is internationally released as the cutting-edge fast-paced cinematic novelization of a highly acclaimed screenplay and forthcoming film, which readers can first enjoy as a book, then as audience members at cinema theaters worldwide.
NANO is available in paperback (USD $16.99), hardcover (USD $26.99), and E-Book (USD $4.99) from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, Rakuten Kobo, Google Books, Strand Books, Booktopia, independent bookstores, and wherever books are sold, with two special editions covers, one being the Global Edition and the other being the America’s 250th Anniversary Special Edition.
