About This Book

A speculative future-history traces cosmic origins then follows human rise to technological power, mounting greed and global conflict that culminate in catastrophic assaults on Earth — wars, asteroid impacts and environmental collapse. The narrative moves between broad, mythic cosmology and grounded scenes of survivors and communities, portraying ruined landscapes, the persistence of human distrust, and the tense sharing of dangerous technological knowledge between individuals in isolated towns. Themes include the consequences of unchecked hubris, the fragility of civilisation, and how intimate bonds shape choices in survival. Structural shifts alternate panoramic accounts of planetary catastrophe with personal interactions that examine responsibility, secrecy, and the will to endure.
