Beginnings shouldn’t be a bunch of context or setup. You’ve got seconds to hook your readers. Get straight into the action. Take a lesson from the Catholic priest Georges Lemaître who invented the big bang theory: “In the beginning, there was nothing. Suddenly IT EXPLODED.”https://twitter.com/BayouBomber/status/1357102496343285765 …

The hook can be all sorts too. Think of all the great works of literature, like the opening lines of Anna Karenina or Pride and Prejudice. No explosions, but you're straight into the action of the book. You immediately are thinking, what happens next?

Incorrect. It was a masterpiece. But there IS a version called Android Karenina which might be right up your street. I haven't read it yet though so can't confirm if there are more explosions.

It's by the same people who did "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" and "Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters". So quite probably
