Two transbiological aliens are in a fight over what to do about a dire cosmic threat. They stealthily involve humanity, but things don’t go as planned. An AI expert channeled her autism for science. A violent zealot is her nemesis. Laurence and Matt must reach minimum safe distance from human nature itself to decide the fate of the world. ////
A hard sci-fi exploration of transhumanism, sentience, and the biological traps that shape collective failure — perfect for fans of "Speaker for the Dead", "Infomocracy", and "Don’t Look Up". This is literary sci fi for adults or precocious young adults. //// https://XHoYenAuthor.com/msd
