About Continuum: Beyond the Edge of Time
Ninety thousand years ago, humanity reached the end of everything it had ever wanted to build. It looked around at a thousand perfect worlds and felt nothing worth preserving. So it voted to forget. One person refused to forget. He has been watching ever since. Now an archivist named Kaeda has found seventeen characters buried in a routine survey log. A breadcrumb. The first of two hundred and sixteen, planted across four centuries of institutional records by someone who needed the right person to find them. The trail leads past a forbidden exclusion zone to a structure older than recorded history, covered floor to ceiling in human script, waiting with the patience of something that knew you were coming. Continuum is a novel about what civilizations choose to remember, what they choose to erase, and what one man carried alone across fourteen thousand years so that the truth would still be there when someone finally looked. For readers of Ted Chiang, Liu Cixin, and Ursula K. Le Guin
