The future is already broken and the past is its last hope.
 
In the year 2112, Earth stands on the edge of environmental collapse. Nuclear devastation, corporate energy monopolies, and unchecked artificial intelligence have pushed humanity toward extinction. Desperate to rewrite history, the United Nations Authority uncovers a critical turning point: the mysterious death of a wind-energy scientist in 2017.
Dr. Ben Richards was meant to change the world.
A brilliant inventor haunted by childhood trauma and PTSD, Richards developed a revolutionary form of renewable wind energy technology that could have prevented the dystopian future humanity now faces. When a humanoid guardian named Merisi is sent back through time to save him from assassination, Richards is forced to confront both his past and his destiny.
But powerful forces are watching.
 
The future energy conglomerate GIATCOM will stop at nothing to protect its monopoly. Enhanced humans, android doppelgangers, and biological warfare are deployed across time itself to ensure Richards never fulfills his mission.
As Richards journeys into the future and witnesses the devastation firsthand, he must overcome fear, trauma, and doubt—discovering that his mental illness may be his greatest strength. Through cryptic spiritual symbolism, sacred geometry, and the ancient TENET and SATOR Square, a hidden form of spiritual time travel emerges, challenging science, religion, and free will.
