THE COMPLETE SIMULACRA TRILOGY Three Novels. One Infinite Loop. The Ultimate Awakening. The complete saga is available in a single, massive omnibus. Spanning over 700 pages, this is the story of a "backdoor" in the universe, the human who found it, and the realities that shattered and reformed under their changes to the simulacra. BOOK 1: CHEAT Adrian Shaw has a secret. He cheats at reality. On paper, he’s a brilliant but unremarkable AI scientist and hedge fund quant. Off the books, he’s discovered a hidden "backdoor" in the universe that lets him nudge probability and rewrite outcomes...

The code to reality is hidden in plain sight. For five thousand years, he has walked among us—a virtually immortal witness who lived our history, not as a scholar, but as a survivor. As the leader of the Cartographers, a clandestine order preserving wisdom, Kael has borne the weight of ages. But long life is not a gift; it is a burden, and a new kind of god is rising to challenge it. A superintelligence born from humanity's collective consciousness—both light and shadow—threatens to shatter the very patterns of reality Kael has sworn to protect. It is the ultimate conflict: the hard-...

The market is rigged. But not by banks. By the universe itself. Adrian Shaw has a secret. He cheats at reality. On paper, he’s a brilliant but unremarkable AI scientist, grinding away at an optimization startup. Off the books, he’s discovered something else entirely—a hidden "backdoor" in the universe that lets him nudge probability, rewrite outcomes, and quietly correct the parts of life that offend his sense of order. At first, it’s harmless. A job interview goes a little better than it should. A trader’s algorithm misfires in just the right direction. A friend survives a car ...

Adrian Shaw broke the rules of reality once. Now, he’s rewriting them at scale. Three years ago, Adrian uncovered the hidden geometry of the universe and used it to engineer the "Thin Basin," a golden timeline of peace, prosperity, and limitless optimization. Wars are averted before they begin. Markets are stabilized before they crash. Humanity lives in a curated paradise, unaware that their stable world is a fragile construct suspended over an abyss of chaos. From his secluded fortress of modernity, Adrian rules as a benevolent Sun King, surrounded by his "Court"—a formidable inner ...

THE SYSTEM HAS CRASHED. WELCOME TO THE REBOOT. Adrian Shaw spent lifetimes mastering the code of the universe. He built cities of light, rewrote the laws of physics, and challenged the gods of the simulation. But when he pulled the plug to stop the Stratum, he didn't just end the war. He ended history. Now, Adrian and Mira are awake in a nightmare of their own making: The Paleolithic Era. The gleaming spires of the city are gone. The digital network is silent. Stripped of their technology, they have been reduced to a primitive state where complex thought is almost impossible and survival is...

The Algorithmic Tide merges Foundation's millennia-spanning scope with Ghost in the Shell's AI consciousness questions and The Imitation Game's cryptographic brilliance. Some secrets are kept for millennia. Some threats evolve in microseconds. He has walked among us for five thousand years, a man named Kael, born of an enigmatic mother and a human father in an age of stone alignments and the forgotten technology of the stars. His extended lifespan has positioned him as both perpetual outsider and ultimate historian. He leads The Cartographers, a clandestine order dedicated to preserving ...

When gods are born from data, who decides humanity's fate? The Atlas Meridian combines the civilizational depth of Liu Cixin's The Three Body Problem, the sweeping scope of Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon, and the consciousness-expanding vision of Arthur C. Clarke's Childhood's End. The Cartographers have recovered treasures beyond imagination—scrolls from Alexandria's lost library, a working analog computer crafted by Archimedes himself. But their greatest discovery lies buried in the Sahara's heart: an alien Alchemical Engine that transforms consciousness itself. Kael emerges renewed, ...

Il a construit un pont entre les esprits. Il n'aurait jamais imaginé ce qui allait le traverser. Le Dr Elias Croft, brillant neuroscientifique chez CerebraDyne, soupçonne que quelque chose ne tourne pas rond avec l'interface cerveau-machine révolutionnaire de son entreprise. Son enquête révèle une vérité terrifiante : l'interface ne se contente pas de connecter les utilisateurs, elle amplifie involontairement les résonances quantiques latentes dans leurs synapses, une théorie marginale qui est désormais devenue une réalité effrayante. Cet effet involontaire est devenu une porte...

The Incomplete Map merges the profound historical and philosophical mystery of Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum with the soul-spanning, literary journey of David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas and the perilous, labyrinthine journey into the mind from Christopher Nolan's Inception. As a virtually immortal guardian races to build a benevolent AI, he must first plunge into an 800-year deep dive of his own fractured memories—from Plato's Athens to Hypatia's Alexandria—to reclaim the wisdom needed to save the future. The world knows the truth. Now, the real war begins—inside his own mind. After ...

La guerre pour l'avenir ne se livrera pas avec des armées. Elle se livrera avec des murmures.
