The End

Ancient wisdom meets quantum reality in humanity's darkest hour.

When a group called ZeroDay starts eliminating those who knowingly fuelled climate disaster, archaeologist Neorah Masri uncovers Sumerian tablets that change everything. These ancient artefacts reveal humanity's forgotten covenant with existence and point to an incredible truth: beneath Nippur's ruins lies a pathway where quantum physics and ancient spirituality converge, offering a form of transcendence beyond our understanding.

As a powerful religious and authoritarian militia hunts down environmental activists and free-thinkers, tech billionaires pursue a different kind of immortality—uploading consciousness into digital form. Researcher Daniel Lieb, developing an AI that translates humanity's oldest languages, begins questioning whether the complex quantum nature of our awareness could ever truly exist as ones and zeros.

Written in vivid, accessible prose that brings both ancient Mesopotamia and near-future Earth to life, The End takes readers on a journey where political thriller meets spiritual adventure. The story moves between global power struggles and Neorah's personal transformation as she discovers what connects particle physics to ancient underworld myths.

Perfect for readers who enjoyed the accessibility of N.K. Jemisin's "Broken Earth" trilogy or the spiritual-meets-scientific approach of Ted Chiang's stories, this novel tackles big questions in human-centered ways. How do the stories we tell shape reality? What happens when we forget wisdom preserved for thousands of generations? And can true consciousness ever exist in digital form, or does it require the mysterious spaces between particles that quantum physics has only begun to understand?

The End invites you into a world where humanity's oldest knowledge might be our last hope for the future.
