MULTIVERSE - The Creator plays dice (Original title in Italian: "MULTIVERSE - Il Creatore gioca a dadi") is the first novel written by Nino Dello Buono. Imagined in 2020 and written in 2021, the novel was self-published on June 29, 2022. The book is currently being rewritten.

Dello Buono confirmed that "The Creator plays dice" is only the first of a series of novels, called the "MULTIVERSE saga", that will be published in the future. As of December 2023, the series is scheduled to have five more novels that are meant to expand the lore of the fictional multiverse.

The novel is based on the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, according to which the multiverse exists and the universes that make it up multiply whenever an event that has multiple outcomes occur. The plot, the focal point of which is discussions about physics, revolves around elements that come from both the fantasy and science fiction genres. The novel also touches many subjects, like philosophical arguments, ethics discussions, quotes from Internet culture and, in some cases, theological disquisitions. Thanks to its plethora of themes, "The Creator plays dice" is not easy to categorize and the author usually defines it as a "fantasy-driven science fiction" novel.

The novel has been repeatedly criticized for lack of female characters in the plot. The author responded, every time this criticism has been brought up to him, by saying that he "had forgotten to include them in this chapter of the saga" and that he is carrying out the aforementioned rewriting to also include the other characters of the series in this chapter.

The novel has been appraised by the Italian National Research Council on September 7, 2022 through an article published in the "Almanacco delle Scienze" magazine[1]. In the article "The Creator Plays Dice" is mentioned as an innovative example of scientific divulgation and quotes that all scientific theories presented in the novel agree with modern science.
