The Edge of Knowing
A Novel by David Lee
When Emma Brody discovers a strange and painful rash under her arm, she assumes it’s nothing serious. But as symptoms escalate and specialists grow increasingly baffled, Emma is thrust into a medical mystery that defies explanation.
What begins as a routine doctor’s visit quickly spirals into something far more urgent—and far more personal. As she searches for answers, Emma finds herself at the crossroads of cutting-edge technology and the limits of human knowledge, where artificial intelligence is being tested as a tool not just for diagnosis, but for understanding what it means to be alive.
Set against the backdrop of a quiet suburban life upended, The Edge of Knowing explores the rising power of AI in healthcare and its profound implications for both science and the arts. But at its heart, it is a story about time—how we measure it, how we spend it, and how we come to terms with the fact that it’s never guaranteed.
