Travel to the end of time with Gamal and Shamar as they search for meaning in a universe where even the stars die out. Join Orana and Arden in a trial for the ages as they stand before judge Aristotle to decide the fate of scientific thought—and their own existence. Grapple with the importance of story as immortal Hrvak confronts the terror and joy of personal sacrifice.
Engage with eight contemplative short stories that address issues of personal morality and motivation including truth versus narrative, resisting the inclinations of our favored community of people, the hidden difficulty of accepting cultural differences, the value of faith in scientific inquiry, and others. Each story is followed by short prompts and questions for reflection and discussion.
