You become the monster so the monster can&#8217;t hurt you. And the last one is a redemption story.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">He told the outlet that while he has not found a publisher yet, he is &#8220;on the fourth draft of book seven, which will serve as the entry point into the larger saga,&#8221; reflecting themes of &#8220;idealism, corruption and the long road back from both.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Lewis explained that he intends to incorporate physics into the books, though he does not have a background in science, and that he has outlined &#8220;three trilogies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;I&#8217;ve paid attention to it over the years,&#8221; Lewis told the outlet about the scientific discipline. &#8220;I like looking in on what quantum theory is doing and [Richard] Feynman had a really interesting theory that all of reality is just a single electron moving through spacetime at a bunch of different convergences. That&#8217;s something I kind of incorporated into the books. Or it&#8217;s kind of like string theory, where energy, in its ordering, becomes matter.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">When asked why he chose to &#8220;start at the end&#8221; by writing book seven, he explained that &#8220;it&#8217;s a triptych.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-0 size-full\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-3 right-3 rounded-full bg-primary p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-primary\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"flex-none size-4 -scale-x-100 text-primary lg:size-6 [&amp;_path]:fill-current\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M3.1 3.1V11h1.8V6.314l5.392 5.393 1.415-1.414L6.313 4.9H11V3.1zm17.8 17.8V13h-1.8v4.686l-5.393-5.393-1.415 1.414 5.393 5.393H13v1.8z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed bottom-0 left-0 right-0 top-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-primary hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p><i>Jason Lewis, &#8216;Sex and The City&#8217;<br \/>Credit: HBO\/Darren Star Productions\/Kobal\/Shutterstock<\/i><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;There are arguments in each one in terms of the same themes of power and agency and wielding that,&#8221; Lewis added. &#8220;But I chose to start at the end.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">On May 21, the former actor resurfaced on Instagram with a <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DYk2DOhOBbx\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:new video message;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;new video message&quot;}\" class=\"link \">new video message<\/a>, marking his first post after what he described as three years of being \u201cquiet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cAfter three years, it was time,\u201d Lewis captioned the video.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>Never miss a story \u2014 sign up for<\/strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/people-news-daily-newsletter-sign-up-8692701\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:PEOPLE's free daily newsletter;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;PEOPLE'&quot;}\"><strong> PEOPLE&#8217;s free daily newsletter<\/strong><\/a><strong> to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer\u200b\u200b, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In the clip, the actor explained that his absence was tied to a creative project that required his full attention.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI went quiet.
