À propos de ce contenu audio
The Divya Trials have been announced. Billions will compete. One will ascend to godhood.
On the planet Neh; the living forest called Maya is the planet’s neural network. Each citizen tethers daily to Maya; entering shared dreamscapes for work; play; and learning. The immortal Divyas harvest the data. Every thought and memory; predicting futures and bending reality itself. Everyone is connected. Everyone is tracked. Everyone is controlled.
Everyone except Yachay. An ordinary nineteen-year-old manushya raised in isolation by his ailing grandfather; Daddu; Yachay has never tethered to Maya—making him invisible to the gods of data. Daddu urges him to enter the upcoming Divya Trials; a once-in-a-lifetime competition where billions compete for immortality and omnipotence. Yachay wants no part of it—until his grandfather’s death uncovers an ancient resistance and a lifetime of secret training.
MAYA: Seed Takes Root; the first novel in the expansive MAYA universe; fuses science fiction; fantasy; and philosophy into an epic of thrilling adventure and urgent allegory. Drawing on South Asian mythology; hard science; and sharp social commentary; it asks the questions that define our time: Who controls our stories? Who profits from our data? And in an age of perfect prediction; is freedom still possible?
Commentaires
“A book of extraordinary riches…provocative philosophical nuggets wrapped in a narrative both sweeping and immersive.” (Anil Seth, Neuroscientist and author of Being You: A New Science of Consciousness)
“The kind of story where myth collides with science, magic mixes with engineering, and poetry sits right alongside politics. You can feel a whole new genre taking shape.” (@Asvinireads)
“A narrative superstructure…a story that rewires the way we tell stories in the first place.” (Esquire)
“Uncomfortably close to our current relationship with technology and social media algorithms—and that’s entirely the point.” (Variety)
“The antagonist lays out his reasoning step by step, and you can’t argue with it. It’s ironclad. It’s terrifying.” (@JoshReadsBooks)
"An ambitious, eye-popping sci-fi fantasy universe…an allegory of our hyperconnected world.” (The Hollywood Reporter)
“Every aspect of it—the politics, the culture, ecology, and technology—feels like a simulation that's been allowed to run for hundreds of years.” (@TheBookishAlchemist)
"Science-fiction, fantasy, spiritual mysticism, or technological futurism? MAYA is all of these!" (Matt Loze, former Head of Scripted, BBC Worldwide)
"A sweeping story of chaos and control, the powerful and the expendable." (Screen Rant)
“Worldbuilding with intent. Not just immersive, but precise. The technology works. The politics are coherent. The biology is bizarre but believable.” (Raymond McCaulay, Chair of Digital Biology, Singularity University)
