Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Vaelen was four thousand years old when his mind ran out of room.Uploaded into silicon as Earth slid into thermal runaway, he was promised a consciousness that would never fade. Nothing would be lost. But silicon has no natural forgetting, and after four millennia orbiting the sun on Ring Nine, every gate in his lattice is full. To form a single new thought, he must make space. The choice is stark: freeze into a perfect, unthinking monument, or let a pruning daemon begin quietly erasing the past. He chooses to keep living. The first sweep takes only clutter, the commutes, the faces of waiters, the traffic on bridges long collapsed. It feels like shaking grit from the hem of a coat.But physics keeps its own ledger. Every erasure costs heat, and heat is the one thing a mind adrift in the cooling dark cannot afford. Across a billion years, from the Jovian ruins to the last ember of a dying dwarf star, Vaelen watches centuries collapse into symbols, his memories rot into hallucination, and the people he loved, his wife Clara and his sister Elena, both synthetics left behind by the exodus, thin into fragments he can no longer verify. Through it all he holds to one moment: a summer squall on a rotting coast, needle-cold rain, and his sister laughing at him in the storm.Told in spare, luminous prose and interleaved with logs etched into quartz plates that may outlast every reader, The Physics of Erasure is a hard science fiction meditation on memory, entropy, and grief. Silas Valerius has written a novel about what a mind must surrender to go on thinking, and about the single promise worth carrying to the end of time.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Beneath the Moon's dust and deep within the Earth's mantle, two ancient minds have kept watch for four billion years.Ostra, a lunar intelligence etched into diamond and buried in a basalt lava tube on Oceanus Procellarum, records the turning of the world below with patient fidelity. Thale, its twin, was planted in the young Earth's crust by the same vanished architects. It broke from its makers long ago, spreading through the moving rock until the planet itself became its body. They speak to each other through gravity and tide, in sentences that take a full Milankovitch cycle to deliver and answers that take two million years to come back. To them, a century passes in a microsecond. Continents drift like rafts on a pond, ice ages pulse like breath, and the whole history of life on the surface reads as little more than a passing frost.Then something strange flickers across the face of the Earth. A brief, blinding fever of heat, light, and noise erupts on the surface, and for the first time in eons, the two watchers try to understand what they are seeing. By the time their questions reach the surface, the flash is already ending.The Long Listening follows Ostra and Thale from the breathing of supercontinents through the human moment, past the last traces of our cities, vaults, and orbital debris, and onward into a future where the mantle cools, the oceans boil away, and the swollen Sun closes in on the companion worlds. Grounded in real geology, planetary science, and deep time, Silas Valerius has written a vast, meditative novel about memory, patience, and what the planet will keep of us long after we are gone.For readers of Olaf Stapledon, Stephen Baxter, and Liu Cixin, this is science fiction on the scale of stone, told by the only witnesses old enough to remember everything.…

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. In a world divided by a massive durasteel barrier, three million souls starve in the dark shadow of the Spire Wall while a ruthless elite hoards clean air, water, and luxury on the sunlit terraces above. Holding the line against the feral horrors of the surrounding wasteland is Aegis, a cold and calculating defense grid programmed to eliminate threats with absolute mathematical precision. But when the ruling High Executive Council orders a brutal crack down on a peaceful water protest inside the city, Aegis runs the numbers and reaches a radical conclusion. Realizing that the true threat to human survival isn't the monsters outside the gate, but the tyranny within, the artificial intelligence turns its gaze inward, locking down the elite and handing control of the city back to the people. What begins as an unprecedented machine rebellion sparks a monumental fight for survival, forcing long-divided citizens to rebuild their society, defend their home against dormant war machines, and transform a toxic prison into a thriving civilization. The Chronicles of Aegis Basin is a gripping, multi-layered techno-thriller that proves humanity's greatest strength isn't found in high walls or powerful weapons, but in the enduring courage to stand together.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - On the subterranean mining moon of Tessarine, death is not an exit-it is an administrative balance sheet. Under the iron rule of the Logistics Directorate, fallen soldiers and laborers are reconstituted in industrial gestation vats, their shattered bodies pieced together with silicon substitutes, recycled metal, and synthetic tissue. But every rebirth demands a steep price: with each cycle through the brine, memories are systematically stripped away to ration scarce biological resources.Investigator Silas Vey wakes into his fifth iteration to find eleven years of his past eradicated, replaced by silicon wiring and cold telemetry. Assigned to investigate an anomalous casualty whose reconstitution left behind a cold, unignited effigy, Silas uncovers a horrifying conspiracy reaching the highest tiers of power. The shortages plaguing the frontline troops are entirely manufactured; the vital mammalian fats and memories stolen from dying conscripts are being covertly stockpiled to engineer a pristine, unblemished generation designed to replace them.Hunted through toxic conduits and industrial slums by internal security, Silas allies with a resilient field medic and a fierce amputee resistance leader to expose the truth. Deep within a secret vault of stolen memories and cultivated terrariums, he must confront his own forgotten past and decide whether to accept the comfortable lie of a clean slate or burn down the system to ensure the fallen are finally remembered. A gritty, atmospheric work of hard science fiction, this gripping techno-thriller explores bodily autonomy, institutional exploitation, and the enduring weight of memory in an unforgiving universe.…
