The promise of sand-grain-sized sensors was to give our world a nervous system, an invisible mesh of computation woven into the fabric of reality. Forests could report their own fires and bridges could announce their own weaknesses, all through an intelligent mist.

This is the world of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), where the principles of swarm intelligence are applied to machines smaller than a single typed period. We'll follow the ...

The war for Earth is just the opening act. The Xortaag armada has never lost a war. Now their ships blot out Earth’s sky, and our last line of defense is four people who should absolutely not be in charge of saving the world: A movie-quoting pilot with a death wish.

Their fight starts in Earth’s orbit… then tears through wormholes, broken timelines, and clashing alternate universes. Every choice echoes across multiple Earths in the ...

Determined to understand their fate and claim a place in this impossible future, Morrow’s crew must navigate the ...

It was a shock for us all when Russia invaded Ukraine. The daily unfolding events remind us that we each live every day of our lives on the very cutting edge of History.
