Ages of Entanglement,
a Novel, is now released!
Samson
has lost all hope.
Three decades have passed since a mysterious illness
brought on by quantum entanglement suddenly decimated the human population. By
harnessing quantum entanglement mankind had tapped into a dangerous power able
to alter the very matter of our existence.
Samson long ago gave up searching for his family and now
wanders the earth with no purpose and avoiding entanglement with other souls.
But then he meets Selene—an orphaned, but strong and independent girl. She sees
in him what he has forgotten. They journey together toward a utopian island
only rumored to exist. Along the way they meet others also seeking to overcome
the obstacles of the age, but in their own way.
Will Samson help Selene to make her way in this dangerous
world, and will she help him to find his lost humanity? Or is Samson already
too far gone, a relic of the previous age?
The book is a literary novel, sprinkled with post-apocalyptic science
fiction. The book is over 67,000 words in length, and it could lead to other
novels based in the same created world. Through the story of an individual’s
journey through a fallen world, the book explores the spiritual, psychological,
and scientific entanglement between humans and entire generations, and if we
can truly escape it. It is built on an individual person’s journey, but
contains layers of symbolism and dreams.
