“Your reality is shifting. Do you wish to proceed?”

Ten years ago, The Illuminae Files redefined what young adult sci-fi could be. Told through hacked documents, redacted transcripts, glitched AIs, and heartbreaking courage, this award-winning trilogy became a modern classic in the genre—and a fan-favorite across the world.

Now, to celebrate its 10th anniversary, authors Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff have teamed up with LitJoy to launch a limited-edition, fully reimagined collector’s box set—available exclusively through this Kickstarter campaign.

This is more than just a reprint. It’s a transmission from the past and a mission into the future.


We chose Kickstarter because it allows us to go bigger, bolder, and more immersive than traditional retail ever could. We’re bringing fans:

  • Stunning new in-world cover designs
  • Exclusive author annotations and never-before-seen content
  • Premium upgrades like sprayed edges, foil details, and hidden easter eggs
  • Kickstarter-only rewards

By backing this project, you’re not just pre-ordering a box set—you’re helping shape what it becomes. Every stretch goal unlocked, every backer milestone reached, brings new content to life.

This collector’s edition is only possible with your support. Kickstarter’s all-or-nothing model means we have to reach our goal to make this dream a reality.

This 10th Anniversary Edition is designed for the true fans—the ones who cried with Kady, fought beside Hanna, and stared in awe (and terror) at AIDAN’s chilling mercy. We’ve poured our hearts into making this feel like an artifact from the universe itself.

Details:

  • 🖋️ SIGNED by authors Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff
  • 📚 Includes Illuminae, Gemina, Obsidio, AND the bonus novella Memento
  • 🪐 REDESIGNED COVERS
  • 💬 AUTHOR ANNOTATIONS from both authors Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff
  • 🌌 Interior Pages REDONE IN FULL COLOR 
  • 📦 Plus: An immersive slipcase experience that feels like accessing the classified files

⚡ Follow the Illuminae project on Kickstarter today and get all the mission-critical details.

We’ve built this project with love—for fans, by fans. It’s a tribute to a universe that’s meant so much to so many. Whether you're a long-time reader or just now decrypting the first files, this campaign is your chance to be part of Illuminae history.

So, initiate your mission. Join us. Back the project. Help us unlock the full transmission.

This is not a drill.

Your fate is in your hands.
