In 1912, an exiled British aristocrat hears the notes of a violin and a mechanical roar while standing in a remote Canadian forest. Centuries later, a famous author on a book tour across Earth’s moon colonies recognizes this same anomaly in an old video file. To solve the mystery of these overlapping moments, a detective named Gaspery-Jacques Roberts travels through time from the year 2401. He investigates the possibility that reality is a simulation being corrupted by a glitch that spans hundreds of years.
This novel serves readers who enjoy non-linear structures and metaphysical puzzles rooted in technical science fiction. It appeals to those interested in the ethics of time travel and the conceptual limits of human perception. Readers finish the book with a specific perspective on how individual lives remain meaningful even within a scripted or artificial universe. It provides a meditation on how art and memory persist across different eras, even as civilizations face the threat of recurring pandemics and environmental collapse.
