Description
The stars went out thirty-three years ago, and with them, humanity's connection to the rest of the universe. A perfect sphere, 'The Bubble', appeared in the sky, isolating our solar system from the cosmos. This event, known as 'The Darkness', has had a profound impact on human society. In its wake, a new era of isolationism emerged, with the rise of powerful cults and terrorism. For thirty-three years, humanity has lived with the consequences of this darkness, struggling to come to terms with its own vulnerability. Now, as we begin to re-emerge into the unknown, questions arise about our place in the universe and what it means to be human. This thought-provoking novel explores the implications of a world cut off from the rest of the universe, where bioengineering has enabled people to shape their minds and lives in ways previously unimaginable.
