The year is 2676. The planet is flooding. 200 million Clones think you, the Inventor, are the reason why.
The year is 2676. The planet is flooding. And the 200 million Clones who live on Point Zenith think you, the Inventor, an Original, are the reason why. You built the Hydrolizer to save this planet. Now it might be destroying it.
The Originals want to maintain control. The Clones want a seat at the table, or a way off the planet entirely. Eleutheria, the all-powerful AI who has guided the Originals across universes for generations, is waiting for your command. And somewhere in the background, the Eucliddeans, the most war-like species in the known galaxies, are watching for weakness. Do you trust Eleutheria? Do you trust the Clones? Do you trust yourself?
There are only 7 endings. Three are generally good. Four are generally bad. The line between them is thinner than you think. Many choices offer three, four, even five options. Some paths loop back on themselves. The book describes itself as a maze, and it means it.
The real challenge isn't navigational. It's moral. Every decision forces you to weigh survival against justice, loyalty against truth, and the comfort of control against the terrifying possibility that everything you've been told about who deserves to lead is wrong. The endings don't reward cleverness. They reveal character.
