The 21st century is coming to an end. In this world, monks make fundamental scientific discoveries while falling into religious ecstasy, people unite into hive minds, soldiers turn off their self-awareness for the sake of efficiency on the battlefield, genetically resurrected vampires solve problems beyond the control of mere mortals, and half the population has already gone to virtual Heaven. Fourteen years ago, after many alien reconnaissance probes burned up in the earth's atmosphere, the ship Theseus set off to meet with the alien intelligence and disappeared somewhere on the edge of the solar system. They almost forgot about him. There was no news from him. Until now...Daniel Brux is an ordinary person without implants or superpowers. Having left for the desert after a mistake that caused the death of several thousand people, he wants to hide from civilization, but unexpectedly finds himself on the battlefield of a post-human war. Against his will, he finds himself on a ship that is heading to the Icarus space station, right in the heart of the solar system. It was there that a strange signal came, sent either by Theseus or by the aliens themselves. Brüx does not yet know that everything is not what it seems, and each crew member keeps his own secret, but soon they will all have to face something unknown and very scary, having witnessed the most fundamental breakthrough in human evolution since the birth of thought.< /p>
