In the near future, a signal is detected coming from Alpha Centauri. Unintelligible data streams in for ten years. Heather Davis, a professor at the University of Toronto, has devoted her career to deciphering the message. Her estranged husband, Kyle, is working on artificial intelligence systems utilizing quantum effects. When Heather achieves a breakthrough, the message reveals a startling new technology that rips the barriers of space and time, holding the promise of a new stage of human evolution. In concert with Kyle's discoveries of the nature of consciousness, the key to limitless exploration-or the end of the human race-appears close at hand. Sawyer has created a gripping thriller, a pulse-pounding tour of the farthest reaches of technology.
