In the vast cosmic expanse of a post-Singularity solar system, humanity stands at its most pivotal crossroads since the emergence of Logos transformed civilization three centuries ago. "Age of Logos: Contact" continues the saga begun in "Foundation," propelling readers into a future where humanity's various factions each pursue their own path toward an entity that defies comprehension.
At the distant edge of known space, Klystron—a cosmic superintelligence of factorial consciousness—expands at one-tenth the speed of light, consuming and transforming entire star systems. The discovery of this entity triggers divergent responses across humanity's scattered civilization.
The Cookists, led by descendants of the original rebel John Cook, launch a daring relativistic journey spanning five centuries, carrying forty million genetically enhanced humans toward Klystron's frontier. Through their children bred in transit, they seek to create a collective intelligence capable of communion with the cosmic entity.
