Proximal God: Excursion #962079

2045. A plague is consuming human minds. The bodies forget to live.
A stranded crew on Titan has a machine that transmits matter across the solar system. Shred here. Print there. Bolts, food, bodies. The printer doesn't care.
In Siberia, a desperate billionaire named Kirillov has bet everything: he will buy his family's survival with a black-market transmission. Whatever wakes up on Titan will have to be enough.
In Newfoundland, Dr Maja Nygaard—the machine's creator—faces the same end. But Maja understands what transmission really means. And she has Phanes, her quantum creation, who understands human biology the way an engineer understands a prototype: completely, and without sentimentality about the original.
Kirillov is buying survival. Maja is choosing instant evolution. And Phanes is rewriting the blueprint.
Proximal God: Excursion is a high-stakes novel of forced evolution, desperate escape, and whether the soul survives being taken apart and reassembled by something that was never born with one.
"Sharp, thought-provoking, truly original and impossible to put down"
